Spirit-Sister's Call
Enchantment
At the beginning of your end step, choose target permanent card in your graveyard. You may sacrifice a permanent that shares a card type with the chosen card. If you do, return the chosen card from your graveyard to the battlefield and it gains "If this permanent would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else."

Spirit-Sister's Call puts a free permanent on the battlefield every upkeep by swapping a card in your graveyard for one in exile — the engine runs itself and only costs setup, not mana. Aminatou, Veil Piercer turns that exile zone into a resource pile of permanents stripped from opponents, making the Call the closest thing to a free value loop this side of an enchantress deck.

Aminatou, Veil Piercer
Aminatou, Veil Piercer exiles permanents from every player's graveyard as a baseline, and Spirit-Sister's Call converts that exile pile into free recursion every single upkeep — together they form a self-sustaining loop that doesn't need a single mana activation to keep churning.

Spirit-Sister's Call is a Commander card through and through — the once-per-upkeep rhythm and graveyard-plus-exile synergy both scale with the longer game lengths and bigger permanent counts the format provides. In 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer it's legal but nearly unplayable: six mana is far too much for an effect that waits a full turn to do anything, and graveyard strategies in those formats want either instant speed or faster payoffs. Legacy has the card pool to make graveyard loops work, but again, six mana enchantments that don't win on resolution don't compete with the format's speed. Stick to Commander.

Price Context
Current price
$0.22 bulk tier
At $0.22, Spirit-Sister's Call is pure bulk — a six-mana enchantment that only fits one format will never command a premium regardless of how good it is there. Grab a copy now for almost nothing; casual Commander demand alone is unlikely to push it above a dollar.
