Bloodline Bidding (ECL)

Sorcery

Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature's color.) Choose a creature type. Return all creature cards of the chosen type from your graveyard to the battlefield.

Niche reanimation engine for creature-heavy black strategies. Bloodline Bidding demands both deck construction (a full graveyard of a chosen creature type) and board presence (creatures to convoke), making it a narrow fit outside dedicated tribal or token decks. When it works—returning multiple creatures at once in Commander or Pioneer—it can generate explosive value, but the eight-mana floor and reliance on setup make it significantly slower and more conditional than efficient alternatives like Unmarked Grave or Persist.
