Raise the Past
White rarely gets to reanimate at all, and when it does the mass version has almost always been about size or numbers. This inverts the usual constraint: no limit on how many bodies come back, only a hard ceiling on what each one costs. The result reads like a graveyard reset button for the go-wide decks white already builds. Cheap creatures die in bunches (to combat, to sacrifice outlets, to a board wipe), and this recovers the whole pile at once. That mana-value cutoff does the balancing work: it slams the door on slamming a giant threat back into play, so what returns is a swarm of small enter-the-battlefield triggers and mana dorks rather than one powerful creature. The value comes from how many one- and two-drops you can chain, each doing something on arrival, which is exactly the density aristocrat and weenie shells generate as a matter of course. This is an effect that swaps precision for volume: you do not pick your targets, you take every printed creature card under the line, and building around it means treating your early creatures as recurring resources rather than expendable ones. A board that dies cheaply is a resource this card is happy to cash in twice.
