Enchantment1 generic manaRed mana

The reward here is keyed to a verb, not a noun: the pump only fires if a card left your graveyard this turn, which pushes the deck toward churning the yard rather than stockpiling it. Flashback, escape, disturb, retrace, unearth, or a plain recursion spell all satisfy the condition; sitting on a stocked graveyard does nothing at all. That distinction reframes the graveyard as a resource you spend during your turn to unlock the combat bonus, and it dovetails with the exact mechanics that already ask you to pull cards back out for value. The upfront 2/2 Spirit gives the enchantment an immediate body, so it never sits dead in a hand with no graveyard action ready: the two-mana buy-in nets a creature plus a standing threat of removal-through-combat once your recursion comes online. The sharper trick is that it double-counts your engine turns. One flashback cast pays out twice: once for the spell itself, and again as a two-point boost on an unblocked attacker when you swing, so graveyard aggro converts value turns into damage without spending a separate slot on a dedicated payoff. This is a card that punishes hoarding and pays out spending, and it sits comfortably in decks already built to keep the graveyard in motion.
