Annie Flash, the Veteran — Quick Recruit and Graveyard Wrangler
Annie Flash, the Veteran rewards timing and tight sequencing. With flash and a {3}{U}{B} cost she slips into play on an opponent turn or at the end of yours and can immediately recover a low cost permanent from your graveyard provided you cast her. That trigger reads as a targeted return that brings the permanent in tapped so you should plan around tempo and how you will use the reanimated piece that turn.
Her second ability creates a steady stream of options whenever she becomes tapped. Exiling the top two cards and allowing you to play them that turn can extend reach or dig for answers. In practice she works well in controlled midrange shells that value recursion and incremental card advantage. Treat Annie as a turn extender and a toolbox engine that pairs best with low mana value permanents you are happy to reanimate and spells you can cast from the newly exposed cards.
