Bring Ancestors Back to the Skies
Abuelo's Awakening is a utility sorcery that converts late game mana into 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, so an otherwise static piece can block air threats, dodge certain removal, and pressure life totals in ways it could not while dead.
In practical play the card rewards careful sequencing and graveyard planning. Use it to reanimate a key equipment that benefits from extra +1/+1 counters, to bring back an anthem style enchantment that still has value as a flying creature, or to recur a value engine when you have excess mana available. It fits control lists and midrange approaches that need a late game finisher that scales with X and interacts cleanly with typical Ixalan graveyard synergies.
