Rescue Skiff

Artifact — Spacecraft5 generic manaWhite mana

The reanimation is the ante, not the payoff. Six mana buys back a creature or enchantment card from your graveyard the moment this arrives, which is a fair rate for white on its own; what makes the card unusual is that the 5/6 body you paid for still has to earn its keywords. The hull lands inert, a large artifact with no evasion, and you convert your own board into charge counters to Station it up to the 10+ threshold where it gains flying and becomes an artifact creature. That gate turns the reanimation clause into a source of fuel rather than pure value, since the creature you return can itself be tapped for its power on a later turn to help arm the ship. It frontloads the cost onto the graveyard and the board at once: you spend mana to refill, then spend tap-power to launch, and only then does the top end come online. Because you can only Station on your own turn, there are no instant-speed ambushes here, no arriving mid-combat as a surprise flier. What you get is a white finisher that rewards a wide, expendable board and a stocked graveyard simultaneously, asking you to route your smaller creatures into the hull rather than the red zone.
