A possible reanimation enabler with backup interaction, but it is slower and less graveyard-efficient than Faithful Mending (50).

Could be wrong if Instant Reanimator may value retaining cards and the counter mode enough to make this a recurring inclusion.

Three mana is far too slow beside Legacy’s cheap cantrips and free counters; the loot mode is not enough to justify it.

Could be wrong if A new graveyard shell could value an instant-speed discard outlet that doubles as early disruption.

Early it can tax-counter a pivotal spell, later filtering for graveyard plans; three mana trails Counterspell (90) badly.

Could be wrong if Pauper’s slower games or a discard-heavy shell could make its two modes more valuable than expected.

A passable instant-speed discard outlet that can protect a key turn, but three mana compares poorly with efficient blue interaction.

Could be wrong if Matching commanders may prize the compact loot-plus-protection package more than generic blue decks do.

Early tax-counter tempo plus a later draw-two-discard-one fallback should normally make decks, with graveyard upside.

Could be wrong if Unknown set speed and archetypes determine whether holding up three mana is practical.
