I think that this ability of regeneration is very white, especially when it applies to more than just creatures.

Instil
1WW
Sorcery

Return target creature, artifact, enchantment or land from your graveyard to play.

Current wording:

Instil
1WW
Sorcery

Return target creature, artifact, enchantment or land from your graveyard to play.

Hold on their, Chief! This is way too good. Breath of Life and Zombify just return creatures to play, but they cost more than this. I'm pretty sure this isn't a strictly white effect, either -- White concerns itself with enchantments and to a lesser degree, creatures, but graveyard manipulation is typically green or black, while messing with artifacts is a blue effect. Maybe have this return just an enchantment from your graveyard to play and it can cost {1}{W} or {2}{W} (If Replenish can do all enchantments for {3}{W}, that ought to be fair).

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

...not that Replenish was by any means fair.

White does mess about with artifacts, too, but typically only certain kids (equipment, trinkets).

This has been tried already (almost exactly as posted) and Disentomb has already been added to the Master List:

Disentomb
4GB
Sorcery
Put target artifact, creature, enchantment, or land card from a graveyard into play under your control.

(Sorry for the double-post, my web browser is acting up.)

Egad -- not only has this been tried before, it is you who tried to do it. Even if this hadn't been shot down the last time you tried it, it's probably better that you bump the old thread, so that there aren't redundant threads in the forum.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I'm probably the biggest idiot EVER. Wow, that's really funny that I didn't even notice that.

I digress.... What if this costed WWW? Would that be restrictive enough to get this through? It isn't THAT powerful, it's just very versatile, and the restrictive cost would make it much less versatile.

Returning permanents to play is a White ability, although it's normally limited to one or two types on a given card. Additionally, Resurrection and the like are considered fairly costed at a CMC of 4. This is strictly better, both in cost and utility. Maybe if the cost was 2WWW...
