About Back from the Brink

Back from the Brink, Enchantment, designed by Anthony Palumbo first released in Sep, 2011 in the set Innistrad. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.31.

This card would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and reusing powerful creature cards. While Back from the Brink offers a unique ability to create token copies of creatures from the graveyard, it may be overshadowed by more efficient options like \[\[Reanimate\]\] or \[\[Animate Dead\]\] in competitive play due to their lower mana costs and immediate reanimation effects. However, in a casual or themed deck centered around graveyard interactions, Back from the Brink could definitely see play for its fun and flavorful gameplay.

Rules

09/22/11

Although you’re paying the card’s mana cost, you aren’t casting that card. Abilities that reduce the cost to cast a creature spell won’t apply, and additional costs to cast that creature can’t be paid. Alternative costs that affect what it costs to cast a creature spell, such as evoke, can’t.

09/22/11

If you exile a double-faced creature card this way, you’ll pay the mana cost of the front face. The token will be a copy of the front face and it won’t be able to transform.
