Graceful Reprieve

Instant, 1W (2)
When target creature is put into a graveyard this turn, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control.¹
"In my moment of death, I had a vision of the world, dark and unwelcoming. I wanted to hide in the deepest meander, but the light pulled me back."
Illus. William O'Connor

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 4/1/2008: This effect works once. If the targeted creature leaves the battlefield and is then returned to the battlefield, it's considered a different object. If that permanent is put into a graveyard, it won't come back a second time.
• 4/1/2008: Graceful Reprieve can target a token creature, but since token creatures cease to exist after they leave the battlefield, it won't be returned to the battlefield.
