Defossilize (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Gravebound Resurgence

Defossilize returns a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield and forces it to explore twice, converting raw recursion into incremental advantage. The card reads Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. That creature explores, then it explores again. The first explore often recovers a land to smooth your next draw. The second explore grants a +1/+1 counter if the reveal is a nonland or reshuffles the returned card into your graveyard.

In practical play the spell is straightforward synergy with sacrifice outlets and death triggers. Cast Defossilize on a token creator or an enter the battlefield engine and the double exploration can both refill your hand and grow the returning body. Treat it as a black sorcery that trades a single investment for layered tempo and incremental value in grindy matches.
