About Return to the Ranks

Return to the Ranks, Sorcery, designed by Michael Komarck first released in May, 2020 in the set Magic 2015 and was printed exactly in 6 different ways.

A deck that focuses on low-cost creatures and has a strong graveyard recursion strategy would benefit from using Return to the Ranks. This card is particularly effective in token-based decks or strategies that rely on sacrificing creatures, as it can bring back multiple creatures at once. While there may be better options depending on the specific deck and strategy, Return to the Ranks can be a powerful tool in the right context and is worth considering for decks that can take advantage of its abilities.

Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won’t be on the battlefield when you pay the spell’s costs, so you won’t be able to tap it for convoke.
