# Raise Dead (Welcome Deck 2017) Raise Dead is a functional reprint of a Magic classic, appearing in countless introductory products over decades. Collectors view Welcome Deck versions as entry-level reprints rather than significant holdings. The card's simplicity—returning a creature from your graveyard to your hand—makes it pedagogically useful for teaching new players about Magic's core mechanics and resource management. This particular printing holds minimal collector appeal beyond completionists pursuing full Welcome Deck sets. The common rarity and nonfoil-only status mean it lacks the scarcity markers that drive collector interest. Most players and collectors encounter Raise Dead through starter products rather than seeking it intentionally, making it a utilitarian rather than desirable card in the secondary market.
