About False Defeat
False Defeat, Sorcery, designed by Li Wang first released in May, 1999 in the set Portal Three Kingdoms and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 29.14.
This card would be beneficial in a white-based reanimator deck that focuses on bringing powerful creatures back from the graveyard to the battlefield. While False Defeat has its merits, there are stronger options like Unburial Rites or Reanimate that provide more efficient ways to reanimate creatures. However, False Defeat could still see play in more budget-friendly decks or as a backup option for redundancy in reanimation strategies.
