Rise from the Tides — Undead Surge
Rise from the Tides is a pragmatic engine for graveyard centric blue builds on Innistrad. The sorcery turns your stocked instants and sorceries into immediate board presence by creating tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens equal to the number of those cards in your graveyard. It pairs naturally with cantrips and ritual effects that refill the graveyard while still leaving you interaction and tempo.
Played from hand in mid to late game, Rise from the Tides converts card economy into blockers and attackers while demanding careful sequencing. Expect to leverage selection, self mill, and flashback to maximize token count; the tokens entering tapped changes the math but not the inevitability when you have multiple spells in discard. Practical, effective, and thematically true to Innistrad, this card rewards decks built to fill the graveyard and close from a slow advantage.
