Veinwitch Coven: Gravebound Revival
Veinwitch Coven is a concise black creature that does two things well. It arrives as a 3/3 Vampire Warlock with menace, which makes it both a combat presence and a recurring value engine. The card reads cleanly: whenever you gain life you may pay one black mana and if you do you return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand. That trigger meshes with lifegain rituals and tax effects that appear in many Commander lists for this set.
In play the Coven acts as a repeatable recursion trigger tucked behind the threat of a flying adjacent or an evasive attacker. Use it in a build that can gain life reliably and store reanimated targets in hand for tactical replays. The flavor fits Strixhaven adjacent themes of study and secret pacts without fanfare; mechanically it rewards steady resource management and careful sequencing more than explosive turns.
