"Find me cards equivalent to: Heroic Return"

Equivalent cards to Heroic Return (White, Instant, reanimates a creature):
1. Resurrection – but it's a Sorcery, not Instant.
2. Ephemerate – blinks, but doesn’t return from graveyard.
3. Defy Death – Sorcery; returns a creature, angel bonus (White).
4. Rescue from the Underworld – closest; Instant; but Black, not White.

Closest White instant:

  • None exactly identical, but Breath of Life, Defy Death, and Resurrection are thematic equivalents. All are Sorceries.


Reason: No existing White instant can reanimate from a graveyard like Heroic Return does. Closest effects exist only at Sorcery speed.

    Rebound

    Rules

  • Casting the card again due to rebound's delayed triggered ability is optional. If you choose not to cast the card, or if you can't (perhaps because there are no legal targets available), the card will stay exiled. You won't get another chance to cast it on a future turn. If you do cast the card, it's put into its owner's graveyard as normal once it resolves.
  • If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand is countered or doesn't resolve (most likely because its targets have become illegal), none of its effects will happen, including rebound. The spell will be put into its owner's graveyard and you won't get to cast it again on your next turn.
  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
  • Once the exiled creature returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

  • However, if the sacrificed creature is put into another public zone instead of the graveyard, perhaps because it's your commander or because of another replacement effect, it will return to the battlefield from the zone it went to.
  • If either the sacrificed creature or the target creature card leaves the graveyard before the delayed triggered ability resolves during your next upkeep, it won't return.
  • If you sacrifice a creature token to cast Rescue from the Underworld, it won't return to the battlefield, although the target creature card will.
  • Once you announce you're casting Rescue from the Underworld, no player may attempt to stop you from casting the spell by removing the creature you want to sacrifice.
  • Rescue from the Underworld is exiled as it resolves, not later as its delayed trigger resolves.
