Honest Rutstein, Grinning Warlock
Honest Rutstein is a compact engine piece for graveyard and spellcentric decks. With a casting cost of {1}{B}{G} and a 3 2 body, he comes down early and immediately recovers tempo by returning a creature card from your graveyard to your hand when he enters the battlefield. That trigger pairs well with sacrifice synergies and recursion loops that value getting key creatures back for another entry or to protect them from exile effects.
Beyond the enter the battlefield effect, Honest Rutstein grants a steady discount to your creature spells which tightens mana curves and enables bigger plays a turn earlier. In midrange shells he smooths out sequencing and in aggressive graveyard builds he fuels repeated threats. The card reads like a practical toolkit for players who like to play around the stack while keeping pressure on the board.
