Awaken the Ancestors
Abuelo's Awakening is a practical tool for midrange white decks that want to turn graveyard value into an immediate board presence. Cast for {X}{3}{W}, it returns an artifact or non Aura enchantment card from your graveyard to the battlefield and places X additional +1/+1 counters on it. The returned permanent also becomes a 1/1 Spirit creature with flying in addition to its other types which gives you a reliable way to convert static permanents into evasive attackers or defensive flyers.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore Abuelo's ritual feels like a quiet reclamation of history. Use X to scale the impact and to shape tempo. It works well with resilient artifacts that benefit from counters and with enchantments that provide static value once back on the battlefield. Experienced players will find timing and target selection important since the card turns noncreature permanents into creatures while keeping their original functionality.
