Remembrance

Enchantment3 generic manaWhite mana

Most search effects reward variety: you assemble a toolbox, then fetch the precise answer a situation calls for. This one runs on the opposite instinct. The trigger fetches a card with the same name as the creature that just died, so a singleton has nothing to find. Build a list stocked with four-ofs and every loss becomes a draw, turning interchangeable bodies into an attrition engine that refills as fast as an opponent can clear it. Trade or sacrifice one copy and the next walks in from your library. The dead creature does not come back, though: it goes to the graveyard while you pull a fresh copy from your deck, so the supply is finite and the engine grinds to nothing once your duplicates are spent. The nontoken restriction matters more than it looks. A token copy of a real creature (the kind a copy effect manufactures) would otherwise let a free body fetch the genuine card, collapsing the relationship between cost and payoff that the whole design leans on; walling off tokens leaves the grindy creature decks it was built for untouched. So this is a tutor that asks a deckbuilding question rather than a sequencing one, and the answer it wants is redundancy. The payoff scales with how many duplicates you are willing to flood your list with, which runs against the grain of how white value engines usually pay out. The more your creatures resemble each other, the harder this stack of repetition is to dismantle.

Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, you may search your library for a card with the same name as that creature, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
