Back for More card art
Back for More reanimates a creature from any graveyard and immediately throws it into combat — both halves on the same six-mana instant, at end of combat no less. That timing makes it a blowout trick, not just a value spell, and any Golgari deck that wants a reanimation target and a combat swing on the same card has a reason to run it.

Old Stickfingers mills until it hits a creature, which means the graveyard fills up fast and on demand — Back for More turns whatever bomb just got buried into an immediate attacker, closing the loop between the mill trigger and the battlefield in a single spell.

In Commander, Back for More earns its slot by doubling as interaction and reanimation on the same card — flashing it in to steal a freshly killed threat or surprise-block an attacker while getting a body back is exactly the kind of flexibility that six mana needs to justify in a singleton format. Competitive Commander tables will almost always prefer cheaper, faster reanimation, but at casual and mid-power tables the instant speed alone sets Back for More apart from sorcery-speed alternatives. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's legal but rarely worth the slot — dedicated reanimator shells have more efficient lines, and the six-mana ceiling is steep in formats where games often end before turn five or six. Oathbreaker follows the same logic as Commander: playable, appreciated most in slower grind-oriented builds.

Price Context

Current price

$0.11 bulk tier

At $0.11, Back for More sits firmly in bulk territory, which means there's essentially no financial barrier to slotting it into any Golgari Commander deck. Bulk rares rarely appreciate unless they break into a competitive format, and that's not a realistic trajectory here — pick it up for the effect, not the investment.
