Character Background

Raise the Past is a four‑mana white sorcery that best supports value and midrange/comeback strategies by turning your graveyard into an army of low‑cost creatures; at its best it swings tempo massively in your favor while doubling as a resilient late‑game reset. Thematically it reads as white restoration—reassembling veterans and sacrificial allies—and in practice you want a graveyard stacked with high‑impact 1–2‑mana ETB or death‑trigger creatures. Specific synergies include Kitchen Finks and Zulaport Cutthroat for life and drain engines, and Selfless Spirit or other 1–2‑drops that protect or generate immediate advantage. Build around self‑mill/discard and sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer, token makers) so you can recycle triggers and turn repeat casts into incremental value or combo loops; be aware it’s weak to exile effects like Rest in Peace, so include ways to pressure graveyard hate. Cast it as a board‑swing rather than a go‑wide finisher.
