From the Catacombs
Oracle Text
Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control with a corpse counter on it. You take the initiative. If that creature would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else.
Escape—{3}{B}{B}, Exile five other cards from your graveyard. (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its escape cost.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
From the Catacombs is a strong value and midrange reanimation spell that rewards grindy black decks built to exploit the graveyard while leveraging the initiative for snowballing advantage. For five mana, reanimating any creature from any graveyard under your control is already efficient, but the corpse counter and exile clause make the revival feel like a cursed bargain: powerful now, gone forever later. Taking the initiative immediately adds another layer of pressure, giving you a second resource to chase while your revived threat attacks or blocks. In Commander, this fits especially well in sacrifice, self-mill, and aristocrats shells, where filling your graveyard is natural and escaping the card later turns dead draws into a late-game threat. A useful synergy is with ETB creatures like Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Ravenous Chupacabra, since you can reuse their impact before they vanish. The card is best in control-leaning value decks that want inevitability.
