Suffer the Past is a practical instant from Commander: Modern Horizons 3 that fits well in graveyard heavy games. It costs X plus two black mana and exiles X cards from a target player's graveyard. For each card exiled this way, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. In Commander this can slow a reanimator plan while delivering a modest life swing for you.

Use it at the right moment to shut down key recursion or to punish a crowded graveyard. The instant speed gives you room to respond to threats or hold up other plays, depending on the board state. The flavor underscores the weight of memories being pried loose and the price that comes with meddling with a foe’s discard pile.
