Unearth

Keywords · intermediate

Unearth is a one-shot reanimation ability on a creature card. It reads "Unearth [cost]."

How it works

• You may activate the unearth ability from your graveyard, paying its cost. This is a sorcery-speed ability.
• The creature returns to the battlefield with haste.
• At the beginning of the next end step, or if it would leave the battlefield for any reason, it is exiled instead.

Rules notes

• The creature is returned by an activated ability, not cast, so its enters-the-battlefield abilities trigger but its cast triggers do not.
• Because it exiles itself at end of turn, unearth gives one attack, not a permanent body.
