Ever After

Reanimation has always been priced as a cheat: pay a fraction of a fatty's cost to put it on the battlefield, and the genre is a race to spend as little as possible getting there. This spell runs a slower, wider line. Two creatures back at once, both stamped as black Zombies as a rider, and then the sorcery tucks itself beneath its owner's library rather than heading to the graveyard. That self-tucking clause is the deliberate restraint. A double-target reanimation that stayed in the yard would be a natural target for recursion: any effect that returns instants and sorceries from the graveyard, or that grants flashback, could rebuy it and turn a one-shot into an engine. Sending it out of reach cuts that off cleanly, making the card a single large payoff instead of a loop. The Zombie-typing is the quieter wrinkle: mostly flavor, the ghoulish surgeon stitching corpses back together, but it incidentally turns the returned creatures into tribal fodder and, less helpfully, exposes them to any board wipe that sweeps Zombies, including one of your own. As a two-for-one it sits below the sleekest single-target reanimators on raw speed, but the double-body ceiling is real, and the design reads as a card built to be fair while still feeling like a heist.
