Hymn of Rebirth

Sorcery3 generic manaGreen manaWhite mana

Reanimation is usually black's job, and the color split here tells you why this version costs what it does. Black reanimation discounts the spell and trusts the format to police graveyards: Animate Dead and Reanimate ask for two or three mana because black is supposed to cheat. Green-white has no such license, so the spell pays the full five, and the body still has to be earned. You reanimate at sorcery speed, with no haste and no immediate payoff, just the creature standing where it died. What quietly widens the card is the wording of its target: "from a graveyard," not your own, which turns every creature your opponent loses into a candidate. That single word reframes the spell from a self-recursion tool into a swing piece, the green-white answer to a bomb that already hit the bin. Because there is no cost reduction, you are paying retail for a creature, so the math only works when the target is something you could never have cast or afforded yourself. It is reanimation built for the colors that are not allowed to break the rule, priced as a fair midrange spell rather than a combo enabler, and aimed as much at the other graveyard as your own.
