No Rest for the Wicked returns all your creatures from the graveyard to your hand for a single black mana — the cost is sacrificing an enchantment, which you're already doing on purpose. Against a sweeper, this is effectively a one-mana hand refill; against Massacre Girl, it's an engine reset.

Massacre Girl
Massacre Girl's triggered ability kills everything in waves, and No Rest for the Wicked turns that board wipe into a full hand reload — sacrifice it in response to the last creature dying and every one of your creatures comes back, ready to be replayed into another trigger.

No Rest for the Wicked does its best work in Commander, where graveyards fill fast, sweepers are common, and one-mana insurance against a boardwipe punches well above its cost. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but competes in a format where creature-based value engines face faster, more disruptive opposition, so it rarely shows up outside niche reanimator-adjacent shells. Modern legality is similarly theoretical — the effect is real, but the decks that want mass creature recursion usually have stronger options. Commander is the clear home: four opponents mean four chances for a boardwipe, and No Rest for the Wicked converts any of them into card advantage.
