Holy shoot... I don't think we've had a usable 4 mana reanimator in standard (Whisper had summoning sickness, caused card disadvantage, and was a fragile creature) for... holy cow, what was the last one we even had? Unburial rites, maybe?

...I guess that big legendary demon will see some play after all...

I like that it also adds a [card}Raise Dead[/card] effect to ensure card parity (and so you can get cast triggers and such).

Hmmm.... doesn't target. That means you can return the creature you sacrificed.

It's kind of like a balanced Victimize. Actually this is pretty cheap cmc for a reanimation spell in Standard. Kind of Zombify-like.

For 3B you can return best creature in yard to play AND replay the creature you sac'd or some other one next turn. You could even replay the sac'd creature for whatever reason. This is VERY good. Any card they HAVE to make a sorcery is a good card.
