This card, Reanimate, is a powerful tool for decks focused on graveyard strategies, such as reanimator decks. It allows players to bring back powerful creatures at a low cost, but at the expense of losing life. While Reanimate is a solid choice for such decks, there are arguably better options available, such as Animate Dead or Necromancy, which provide similar effects with additional benefits like enchantment recursion or instant speed casting. Whether Reanimate should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergies within a given deck, but it remains a strong choice for those looking to exploit graveyard resources efficiently.
