Reanimate

Sorcery MV 1

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. You lose life equal to that card's mana value.

Combos with Reanimate

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-09-19

    The amount of life you lose is determined by the mana value of the card in your graveyard, not the creature once it's on the battlefield.

  • 2025-09-19

    If any abilities trigger on the creature entering the battlefield, those abilities resolve after you lose life. If losing life results in you losing the game, those abilities won't resolve.

  • 2025-09-19

    In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, the creature you control from Reanimate is exiled.

  • 2025-09-19

    You lose life after the creature is already on the battlefield. Any abilities it has that interact with loss of life, such as that of Platinum Emperion, apply to that loss of life.

  • 2025-09-19

    If a card in a graveyard has X in its mana cost, X is 0.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Reanimate

16 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them. Click a card's art to chart that version's price above.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Reanimate. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
