Cards equivalent to Dig Up the Body (instant, black, graveyard recursion/mill) include:

  • Unburial Rites (returns creature from graveyard, though a sorcery, also has flashback for white)
  • Gruesome Menagerie (sorcery, black, returns creatures from graveyard)
  • Recover (sorcery, black, returns creature and draws a card)
  • Raise Dead/Ghoulcaller's Rebirth/Macabre Waltz (all black, return creature cards)
  • Inscription of Ruin (black, instant, can recur a creature card)

    Casualty Mill

    Rules

  • Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.”
  • If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.
  • The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
  • You may return any creature card from your graveyard to your hand, not just those you milled while resolving Dig Up the Body.
  • You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once.

    Kicker

    Rules

  • Because targets are chosen as you cast a spell, you can't have Inscription of Ruin return a creature card and then destroy that creature.
  • If a card in a player's graveyard or a creature on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If any targets become illegal, the other targets will still be affected as appropriate.
  • If more than one mode is chosen, perform them in the order written. Nothing can happen in between, however, and no player may choose to take actions. Any abilities that trigger will be put onto the stack after the spell has finished resolving.
  • If you kick Inscription of Ruin, you can't choose any one mode more than once.
  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
