Cemetery Recruitment

Foundations (FDN) #517 · Common · Sorcery

Mana cost: {1}{B}

Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. If it's a Zombie card, draw a card.

To a necromancer as powerful as Liliana Vess, a graveyard is as good as a garrison of soldiers awaiting her command.

  1. 2024-11-08 · wotc — If the target creature card is an illegal target as Cemetery Recruitment tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't draw a card even if the target creature card was a Zombie card.
