  • Rise from the Grave: Puts any creature from any graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. It doesn’t grant haste or exile, but is similar in color and type.
  • Claim the Firstborn (Red, not black, but functionally close): Only targets small creatures, grants haste, but no exile and isn’t Sorcery or black.
  • Reanimate: Black, puts any creature from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control, no haste/exile clause.

  • If a card in a graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If any abilities trigger on the creature entering the battlefield, those abilities resolve after you lose life. If losing life results in you losing the game, those abilities won't resolve.
  • In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, the creature you control from Reanimate is exiled.
  • The amount of life you lose is determined by the mana value of the card in your graveyard, not the creature once it's on the battlefield.
  • You lose life after the creature is already on the battlefield. Any abilities it has that interact with loss of life, such as that of Platinum Emperion, apply to that loss of life.

  • A later effect that changes the affected creature’s colors will overwrite that part of Rise from the Grave’s effect; the creature will be only the new color. The same is true about an effect that changes the affected creature’s types or subtypes.
  • If the creature is normally colorless, it will simply become black. It can’t be both black and colorless.
  • Rise from the Grave doesn’t overwrite any previous colors or types. Rather, it adds another color and another subtype.
