Relearn returns any sorcery or instant from your graveyard to your hand — two mana to rebuy whatever you need most. Outside of dedicated spellslinger builds like Tetsuo, Imperial Champion, it loses the competition to Snapcaster Mage and Flood of Recollection on rate, but in the decks that want it, it does the job cleanly.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Relearn is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — and Commander is the only format where it sees meaningful play. Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient recursion, and Relearn never makes the cut there. In Commander, it fills the role of a redundant spell-recursion piece in spellslinger or graveyard-value decks that have already exhausted their first-tier options.

Current price
$0.75 bulk tier
At $0.75, Relearn sits at the top edge of bulk — affordable as a role-player but not a snap-include. The price is stable; there's no demand pressure to move it higher, and supply is wide enough that it won't spike.
