Reunion of the House

Mass reanimation usually pays for its power with a scaling clause: return one big thing, or return everything and hand the reins back to your opponent. This one prices the payload differently. Instead of counting creatures or capping mana value, it budgets total power, letting you fan a graveyard out into a battlefield of small bodies (mana dorks, aristocrat fodder, hatebears, enters-the-battlefield engines) so long as the sum stays under the ceiling. That reframes the reward: this is a wide reanimator's spell, not a fatty's, and it favors a graveyard salted with cheap, ability-dense creatures over a single haymaker. Self-exile on resolution counterbalances the seven-mana investment; you get one enormous swing and no recursion loop, which pushes the deckbuilding toward loading the yard first and cashing it all in at once. White's mass-return effects have grown steadily more permissive over the years, migrating from bounded creature-type restrictions toward raw stat budgets, and the power-total constraint is a cleaner knob than mana value for the archetype it serves: it rewards density over size, exactly the graveyard a go-wide deck already builds.
