Greenwarden of Murasa card art
Greenwarden of Murasa enters and returns any card from your graveyard to hand, then does it again when it dies — two recursion triggers stapled to a 5/7 body that demands an answer. The cost is six mana and a slot that competes with cheaper recursion, but Ashling, the Limitless decks run it at an 86% clip because the death trigger is the whole point: sacrifice Greenwarden, get the card back, rebuy Greenwarden.

86.3% of decks · synergy 0.83

Ashling, the Limitless churns through creatures at will, and Greenwarden of Murasa turns every sacrifice into a free Regrowth — when Ashling kills Greenwarden on purpose, you get back whatever you need most, then queue Greenwarden up again.

Henzie "Toolbox" Torre casts Greenwarden of Murasa at a discount with blitz, which means you deliberately skip the enter-the-battlefield trigger to guarantee the death trigger and the card draw — netting a free Regrowth and a card for less than six mana.

Commander is where Greenwarden of Murasa lives — 99-card singletons create constant graveyard pressure, and a repeatable Regrowth on a resilient body is exactly the kind of value engine that grinds out long games. In competitive Commander it's too slow and too fair; in casual tables it's a genuine must-answer threat. Modern, Legacy, Pioneer, and Vintage are all legal formats on paper, but a six-mana 5/7 with no immediate board impact and no protection competes against formats where games end on turn four at the latest — it doesn't fit.
