Well, Animate Dead allows you to bring a creature back to the battlefield from either your own, or your opponents graveyard and place it under your control
Sadly its just white and green
However, it does provide you with another Creature to benefit from the five-mana Enchantment portion of the card, which is where the real power lies
It's not a bad card, far from it, but it feels like it's just doing too much, and could have done with being stripped back a little bit to make it easier to read and play
A cousin on the other side of my family found out about my love of fantasy and introduced me to Dungeons & Dragons , which lead me to make a lifelong group of gaming friends that I played D&D with for decades, and when Magic came out it was directly appealing to us in the D&D crowd
Unlike Silent Gravestone, the secondary mass exile ability is also quite cheap, so even if its front side isn't always going to prove the most useful in every situation, it's far easier to utilize the back half instead
