Back in Town — Graveyard Rodeo
Back in Town plays like a reclamation plan for decks that lean into the outlaw archetype. Cast for {X}{2}{B} and it returns X target outlaw creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield. It scales cleanly with the graveyard density you build, and it bypasses the unit by unit cadence of token making. Use it as a late game reset or as a mid game push when you can reliably fill the yard with Assassins, Mercenaries, Pirates, Rogues, or Warlocks.
In a Commander game this sorcery rewards careful sequencing and sacrifice synergies. It pairs with death triggers, enter the battlefield effects, and any exile protection you can provide. The flavor leans into Thunder Junction lore where a returned gang can turn a stalled board into a decisive swing. Practical, straightforward, and effective for decks that plan around repeatable value from creatures dying and coming back.
