Unearth

MTG Mechanic

Casting powerful spells is great, but sometimes excavating the past can be just as useful. Unearth is a returning mechanic that lets some permanent cards return to the battlefield one last time. Previously, unearth has appeared mostly on creature cards, but The Brothers' War features the mechanic on some artifact cards too.
