Endless Obedience

Reanimation usually pays for itself by cheating the casting cost: you bury the creature, then haul it back for far less than its printed price. This takes the opposite road. The reanimation rate is full sticker price, six mana to put any creature card from any graveyard onto the battlefield, but convoke lets a board of small bodies foot most of the bill. That changes what kind of deck wants the effect. Classic reanimation rewards a graveyard-stacking shell with discard outlets and a single fat target; this rewards a creature-flooded board that has been grinding away, tapping its leftover attackers and tokens to drag back the best thing that has died on either side. The target clause is the generous part: it reads "from a graveyard," not yours, so the spell doubles as theft, pulling an opponent's pitched bomb across the table. The friction is that you need the creatures already deployed for convoke to matter, which puts it at odds with the empty-board midgame where reanimation is usually most desperate. It is best when you are ahead on bodies but behind on quality, a token swarm cashing in width for a single overwhelming reentry, rather than a topdeck pulled from nowhere.
