This card is commonly used in reanimator decks that aim to bring powerful creatures back from the graveyard to the battlefield quickly. While Animate Dead has its uses, some players might prefer cards like Reanimate or Necromancy for their more efficient and straightforward reanimation abilities. However, Animate Dead can still be a solid inclusion in decks looking for additional reanimation options or -1/-0 debuffs for opposing creatures.

Rules

06/08/16

Abilities such as shroud and protection function only on the battlefield unless otherwise specified. A creature card with shroud may be targeted by Animate Dead, and Animate Dead will become attached to the creature that enters the battlefield.

06/08/16

Animate Dead is an Aura, albeit with an unusual enchant ability. You target a creature card in a graveyard when you cast it. It enters the battlefield attached to that card. Then it returns that card to the battlefield, and attaches itself to the card again (since the card is a new object on the battlefield). Animate Dead itself never moves into a graveyard during this process.

06/08/16

Once the creature is returned to the battlefield, Animate Dead can’t be attached to anything other than it (unless Animate Dead somehow manages to put a different creature onto the battlefield). Attempting to move Animate Dead to another creature won’t work.
