Gravebound Echo
Haunted Dead from Innistrad Remastered is a compact return engine that earns its slot in both casual graveyard decks and grindy black builds. For {3}{B} you get a 2 2 Zombie that immediately leaves behind a 1 1 white Spirit with flying when it enters the battlefield, which helps stabilize against evasive damage and trades with flyers. The card's recursion ability lets you pay {1}{B} and discard two cards to return Haunted Dead from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped, making it a repeatable threat in midrange and value-focused lists.
Play patterns are straightforward and forgiving. Haunted Dead supports a sacrificial or attrition plan while providing incidental evasion through its Spirit token. In lore terms the card captures Innistrad's restless dead, a corpse that drags a translucent companion back into the world. Add this Near Mint English printing to a collection or deck for reliable utility and predictable value. Pick one up now to tighten your graveyard loops and shore up late game attrition.
