Victor Mancha, Runaway

Legendary Artifact Creature — Human Hero5 generic mana

Colorless graveyard recursion is the wrinkle here. Reanimation and flashback-style recur effects are almost always keyed to a color, because letting a graveyard second-cast run through any deck erases one of the natural checks on card advantage. This body sidesteps that entirely: it lives in the artifact slot, so five mana of any combination fetches it, and the exile-and-play clause happily targets a land, an instant, a bomb creature, whatever the graveyard is holding. The balancing hook is ownership. The exiled card stays castable only while this 4/4 remains under your control, tethering the recurred resource to a body opponents have every incentive to kill. Blink it and you exile a fresh card but forfeit whatever the first copy was still holding, since that permission lapses the moment the original leaves play; the effect does not stack across flickers the way a persistent value engine would. That tension (an open-ended, colorless second cast against a fragile, removable anchor) is the price the design pays for opening recursion to any deck that can front five generic mana. It rewards a graveyard already stocked with something worth exiling and punishes the deck that jams it hoping the payoff materializes on its own.
