I have been thinking about this card for a while now. Of course this is powerful, but I think that white could do with a powerful, versatile effect such as this.

Imbue
1WW
Sorcery

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


Current Wording:

Imbue
1WW
Sorcery

Zombify is 3B. Beacon of Unrest is 3BB. This is waaaaaay undercosted.

Also, that's an awesome name, but it's the kind of name that should go on a cheap staple card that'll see a lot of play.

Yeah this is bloody huge.  Maybe if it were symmetrical like Exhume 1WW would be all right but as it stands this is a giant card.

Great. Yet another way way to circumvent the CC of powerful artifacts and enchantments.  Mad  This trumps nearly every card that is like it.  Even if it were symmetrical, you could still screw your opponent too easily. Thumbs down!

I know this won't happen in a tournament, but if my opponent has Chaos Orb in his hand while I'm controlling his turn from a Mindslaver, who flips the card if I force him to play it and activate it?

2WW and we'll talk.

OR

1WW

Your opponent chooses artifact, creature, or enchantment.  The choice must be a card type in your graveyard.  Return a card of the chosen type from your graveyard to play.

Thrash for Treasure is 2R. Seeing as how white sucks, this has double white, I think it's ok.

This is not unlike Disentomb which has been added to the master list.

Trash also sacs an artifact in play, and can't get back creatures or enchantments. If this was a welder-type effect like Trash, then sure 1WW would be fine.

Disentomb is much closer to a reasonable cost. Wasn't there some similar WB card that you also made, though?

People have been railing on WotC to make White the color of enchantments.  Why not make this return enchantments only?  It wouldn't be as bad as Replenish, and it may allow enchantments to be played more.
