Mass Aura recursion is the kind of bulk graveyard rebuilding black and green built their identities around, ported into white as a one-shot reassembly of an entire enchantment shell. The restriction that pays for the breadth is the creature-only clause: every Aura returns directly to the battlefield at once, but only onto creatures, and any Aura with no legal creature to attach to simply stays in the yard. Because the Auras come back rather than being cast, nothing here picks a target; the spell sweeps the graveyard and lands the whole stack wherever it can, all at once. That makes this a build-around rather than a generically good rebuild button: it wants a board of creatures waiting and a graveyard stuffed with creature-enchanting Auras to dump back in a single sorcery. The payoff scales with how many Auras you can lose and recur, so a Voltron deck that has been picked apart can reconstitute its entire investment for four mana, turning what would otherwise be a string of incremental two-for-ones against an Aura strategy into one sweeping reset. It is narrow by construction, asking for a deck assembled almost entirely around creature Auras to justify the slot, but inside that shell it does work no single-target reanimation can match: it does not choose, it returns the lot.
