Eerie Ultimatum
The whole design pivots on a single word: "different names." Mass reanimation is an old idea, but every prior version had a knob to keep it honest, whether a mana value ceiling, a creature-only clause, or a cast-from-hand restriction. This one throws the ceiling away entirely and instead taxes redundancy. You can return a Wurmcoil Engine, a planeswalker, an enchantment, a mana rock, and a land in the same breath, but you cannot rebuild a graveyard full of the same token-maker four times over. The constraint quietly reshapes how you build the deck feeding it: value comes from a diverse permanent base salted into the yard, not from stacking copies. Because it reaches every permanent type, it functions less like a reanimation spell and more like a one-sided rewind, snapping a battlefield back into existence in a single sorcery. The seven-mana cost with its demanding three-color pip layout is the real governor here; nothing else on the card slows you down, so the price and the color commitment carry the entire weight of paying for an effect this open-ended. It sits at the wide end of the reanimation lineage, the version that stopped asking what kind of permanent you get back and started asking only whether you had the discipline to fill your graveyard with variety.
