Reanimate the Bloodline
Bloodline Necromancer is a compact reanimation tool that fits neatly into any black commander shell. The card rewards careful sequencing. Cast it for five mana and you gain lifelink while immediately choosing a Vampire or Wizard from your graveyard to return. That interaction lets you stabilize life totals and recover a key creature in the same turn you drop this body onto the board.
In practice the card functions as both an attacker and a recur engine. Its three two body trades respectably for five mana and the lifelink keeps momentum in attrition matches. Deckbuilders will appreciate how the printed trigger reads and resolves cleanly with graveyard hate, and how the card leans into tribal synergies without demanding an entire archetype. Near Mint English print from Commander The Lost Caverns of Ixalan makes it a reliable inclusion for multiplayer lists.
