    Official Ruling
    If a card in a graveyard has in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • WWizards of the Coast2025-09-19
    Official Ruling
    In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, the creature you control from Reanimate is exiled.
  • WWizards of the Coast2025-09-19
    Official Ruling
    The amount of life you lose is determined by the mana value of the card in your graveyard, not the creature once it's on the battlefield.
  • WWizards of the Coast2025-09-19
    Official Ruling
    You lose life after the creature is already on the battlefield. Any abilities it has that interact with loss of life, such as that of Platinum Emperion, apply to that loss of life.
  • WWizards of the Coast2025-09-19
    Official Ruling
    If any abilities trigger on the creature entering the battlefield, those abilities resolve after you lose life. If losing life results in you losing the game, those abilities won't resolve.

    Reanimate was banned in historic on April 7, 2024. Another defining characteristic of Historic is its overall card power level, particularly now that Timeless exists as the highest-powered format on Arena. The Breaking News Bonus sheet brings some clear power outliers, so Mana Drain and Reanimate are banned in Historic.
