Smile at Death — Bring Back the Small but Mean
Smile at Death gives you a reliable way to rebuild a board from the grave. The enchantment Smile at Death returns up to two creature cards with power two or less from your graveyard to the battlefield at the beginning of your upkeep and puts a +1/+1 counter on each of those creatures. In practical play this lets you recover utility creatures, chump blockers, and aggressive one drops while making them slightly more threatening on reentry.
From a Tarkir perspective this card supports attrition and incremental advantage. It pairs cleanly with sac outlets, enter the battlefield triggers, and creatures that benefit from counters. If you play white midrange or an aggressive companions build, Smile at Death is a compact engine that converts graveyard value into board presence. Add it to decks that plan to use recurring creatures and you will stabilize tempo and pressure opponents across multiple turns. Pick up this Near Mint copy and tighten your game loop today.
