Pursue the Past (SOS)

Sorcery

You gain 2 life. You may discard a card. If you do, draw two cards. Flashback {2}{R}{W} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

Solid card draw engine for Jeskai and Boros control decks. The life gain smooths out early aggression while the optional discard-draw creates real card advantage—especially valuable when you're holding excess lands or cards you've already cast. Flashback makes it a repeatable resource in longer games, and the modest mana cost means you can cycle it while holding up interaction. Best in formats where you're already playing interactive spells and want incremental value; less impressive in strategies that demand immediate tempo or board presence.
