Squirming Emergence (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Rise the Reef

Squirming Emergence is a practical reanimation tool for decks that balance graveyard density with board presence. The sorcery returns a nonland permanent from your graveyard to the battlefield, constrained by a clear resource check: the target's mana value must be less than or equal to the number of permanent cards in your graveyard. That makes this card a calculated play rather than a reflexive one, rewarding lists that fill their graveyard with creatures and artifacts while maintaining tempo.

In play the card reads as a timing pivot. Use it when your graveyard is crowded enough to hit the permanent you need, or hold it as a catch against a removal heavy opponent. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan print conveys the set's subterranean pirate flavor while remaining functional for competitive builds. Squirming Emergence fits into many archetypes as a one card answer to board recovery and can swing midgame trades when paired with sacrifice outlets or flicker effects.
