Reaping the Graves

Recursion is normally a sleepy effect: one creature back to hand, move on. Stapling Storm to it turns a single regrowth into a fan of them, scaling with how many spells you have already thrown this turn. The wrinkle is that each copy targets a creature card in your graveyard, so the payoff is gated entirely by what is down there: cast it after a busy turn and you can rake an entire pile of fallen creatures back into your hand at once. That makes this less a card you draw and play and more a refill engine for a deck built around emptying both its hand and its graveyard, where the graveyard is the resource the copies are meant to drain. Black rarely gets to recur en masse at instant speed, and the design leans on the same logic that powers every Storm card of its era: the underlying spell is cheap and unremarkable on its own, but the count is the whole engine, and you only reach it by sequencing a turn that builds the storm number first. It is a narrow tool, inert without bodies in the yard and a chain of prior casts to copy off of. But in the build that wants exactly that, few effects let you take a turn that dumped your hand and convert your graveyard back into a fistful of threats, ready to be cast again.
