Do you think cards like reanimate will come back?

I was looking at some older reanimator cards and literally my favorite one was Reanimate . Im guessing this will never come back because it seems so broke lol but what do you all think?
its possible but not likely. I'd guess it would have to be in a set with cards like eldrazi, where you'd take a huge hit to your life but not have access to the 'best' cards b/c they would auto shuffle back in.

Reanimate no chance in that ever being reprinted into standard. Cards with similar effects? Guaranteed

We just left a standard where decks with Unburial Rites were a decent portion of the metagame. Reanimator as an archetype will be a thing again, but cards on the power level of Reanimate won't be printed again in a standard.

I doubt they're reprint an animation effect better than Unburial Rites any time soon

I agree with everyone else: there is no way Reanimate will ever be reprinted. The same can also be said for other broken reanimate cards such as Exhume . Unburial Rites was a very strong reanimation spell, and I think that's the cap in terms of reanimation power.

Not likely. The life loss is tiny compared to what you can bring back.
4 mana is the new go to for a reanimate spell that lasts longer than a turn. See Dread Return, Makeshift Manequin, and Unburial Rites.
