Card face

What it does

Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. If it's a Zombie card, draw a card.

To a necromancer as powerful as Liliana Vess, a graveyard is as good as a garrison of soldiers awaiting her command.

Provenance

Where it came from

Cemetery Recruitment was released in the 2024 set Foundations for Magic: The Gathering. As a core set designed to provide a stable foundation of cards for both new and returning players, it functions as a functional reprint of classic black resurrection mechanics that allow a player to return a creature card from their graveyard to their hand.

The card features artwork by Kieran Yanner, a prolific illustrator within the franchise known for his moody, atmospheric depictions of fantasy elements. Yanner’s design for this piece focuses on the macabre aesthetic typical of black-aligned magic, emphasizing the visual storytelling of necromancy to ensure the card's function is immediately clear to players through its thematic visual language.
