Resurgent Belief

Sorcery

Mass reanimation is black's job: the whole apparatus of returning the dead to the battlefield, from Living Death onward, has lived in that color's payment-and-drawback economy. This does the same structural work for enchantments in white, and it pays for the reach with a suspend clock rather than a life total or a mass discard. You cannot cast it from hand; the intended way in is to exile it two turns early for 1 generic manaWhite mana and wait out the time counters. That delay is the balancing mechanism, and it reframes the card's purpose entirely. The turn it fires is knowable in advance, which turns a stock recursion spell into a scheduled event you build the rest of your sequencing around: fill the graveyard while the clock ticks, then flood the board with everything from a Pernicious Deed to a Sphere of Safety all at once. Where Replenish and Open the Vaults ask for their full cost up front on the turn you want the payoff, this one front-loads the trigger and lets the mana it would have cost go toward stocking the yard. The printed cost of nothing is also a loophole: a mana value of zero makes it a legal Cascade hit, letting you cast it straight from your library and skip the suspend delay entirely, though it also leaves it exposed to Chalice of the Void set to zero. It is a reanimation engine that trades flexibility for certainty, and only an enchantment-heavy graveyard makes that appointment worth keeping.
