About Reanimate

Reanimate, Sorcery, designed by Robert Bliss first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest and was printed exactly in 20 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 9.09.

A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and sacrificing creatures for value would benefit from including Reanimate, as it provides a powerful way to bring back key creatures at a low cost. However, there are better options like Animate Dead or Necromancy that offer similar effects without the life loss drawback, making them more versatile choices. Reanimate could still see play in more aggressive strategies that prioritize speed and efficiency over life total preservation.
