Recursion

Effects that retrieve cards from the graveyard back to your hand, recovering spent resources for a second cast. Regrowth grabs any card, Eternal Witness staples that effect to a creature body, Gravedigger and Archaeomancer narrow it to creatures or instants and sorceries, and Genesis loops creatures back during upkeep. Distinct from graveyard.reanimation, which puts creatures directly onto the battlefield from the yard rather than to hand. Broader than lands_matter.land_recursion and artifacts.artifact_recursion, which cover returns specific to lands or artifacts; Life from the Loam fits both the generic and the land-specific view.
