Recover

Keywords · intermediate

Recover lets a card claw its way back from the graveyard when a creature dies. It reads "Recover [cost]."

How it works

• While the card is in your graveyard, whenever a creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, recover triggers.
• You may pay the recover cost. If you do, return the card to your hand. If you do not, exile it.

Rules notes

• Recover either gets the card back or removes it from the game; it does not simply stay in the graveyard.
• The trigger fires for any of your creatures dying, including the card's own controller's tokens.
