Artifact Creature — Gargoyle4 generic mana

Buyback for the graveyard, stapled to a body no one asked to attack with. The tension is that this is spell recursion built for colors that do not usually get it cleanly: a colorless artifact any deck can run, handing back a burn spell, a counterspell, or a sweeper to any archetype willing to spend four mana and a card slot on a 2/1 flier. The design charges for the recursion in tempo rather than mana or card selection. You do not draw the spell, you set it on top, so you spend a full draw step reclaiming it and telegraph exactly what is coming. That top-of-library placement is the honest cost, distinguishing it from a Regrowth effect that drops the card straight into hand. What you get in exchange is repeatability by proxy: blink the Gargoyle, flicker it, recur it, and the engine arrives with an evasive attacker attached rather than a dead sorcery. It sits in a long line of colorless value creatures that turn a graveyard into a slow resource, and the flying body is the concession that keeps it from being pure utility: something to do with the card once the spell you wanted back is already cast again.
