Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
Deathtouch Whenever Isareth attacks, you may pay {X}. When you do, return target creature card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield with a corpse counter on it. If that creature would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else.
“Reanimation engine that pulls creatures from your graveyard each combat.”
Isareth the Awakener is your graveyard's best friend, turning combat into a recurring reanimation engine. Every time she attacks, you can spend mana to pull a creature from your graveyard onto the battlefield—the corpse counter keeps your threats from returning to the graveyard if they die, so they're effectively permanent once cast through Isareth. Your core gameplan is filling the graveyard with a mix of utility creatures and value engines, then using Isareth's attack triggers to rebuild your board or reanimate key threats turn after turn.
The deck wins through sheer value accumulation and creature synergies. You'll stock the graveyard with creatures that have strong enters-the-battlefield abilities, sacrifice outlets, and card draw. Once Isareth is online, you're essentially casting free creatures every combat step. Pair this with cards that benefit from creatures entering the battlefield or leaving the graveyard, and you'll generate enough card advantage and board presence to overwhelm opponents. The corpse counter mechanic lets you safely reuse creatures without fear, turning Isareth into a reliable source of repeatable advantage.

Use efficient self-mill like Stitcher's Supplier and Satyr Wayfinder instead of pricey tutors; replace Dark Ritual with Cabal Ritual or Infernal Plunge.
