Urborg Uprising
Returning two creature cards to hand is already card advantage, and the unconditional cantrip stacks another card on top: this is a spell that nets you cards regardless of the board, drawing whether you retrieve two bodies, one, or technically none at all. Black recursion has historically come one corpse at a time and at a premium, so the volume here (two targets, no restriction beyond the creature type) marks it as a tool for the grinder rather than the tempo deck, a rebuilding turn for a player who expects to keep resummoning what dies. The cost is where the discipline lives. At sorcery speed and five mana, this is not a reactive play but a full turn committed to reloading, the move you make after a sweeper has cleared the table and you need bulk back in hand more than you need to develop. The draw is what keeps the spell honest even when only a single creature in the yard is worth having: you are never paying five for one body, because the cantrip always tops the hand back up and keeps you digging toward the next play. It is a workhorse built for attrition, content to spend a whole turn doing nothing but refilling, and that is exactly the deck it was made to serve.
