Named after the card Reanimate from Tempest, reanimation effects return cards from a graveyard directly unto the battlefield.[1][2]
Description
Black and, secondarily, White are the primary "reanimation" colors.[3]
Despite some cards having some limitations (Claim/Fame, Unearth, Persist), Black has no real restrictions on what creatures it can bring back.[2]
White tended to reanimate smaller creatures, usually with a converted mana cost of 2 or less, but R&D has started letting white bring back larger creatures on occasion.[3] It also will occasionally reanimate a creature type that is mostly white (things like Angels or Humans).
Red has Phoenixes, as well as efficient Artifact Reanimation cards with the example of Trash for Treasure, Goblin Welder, Goblin Engineer, Daretti, Scrap Savant.
Green has creatures that can bring themselves back from the graveyard.
Both Black and White will sometimes reanimate a swath of creatures all at once.
Blue used to have reanimation as a tertiary mechanic. On rare occasion, it could make a copy of a creature out of the graveyard, but this mechanic isn't used anymore.[3]
Reanimate permanent
Black can Reanimate creatures as well as planeswalkers.
Red can Reanimate artifacts efficiently.
Green has the mass Reanimation of lands with Splendid Reclamation.
White is the one color that can reanimate any permanent type, so it gets to reanimate "target permanent." It can also reanimate "target artifact," "target enchantment," or "target planeswalker." It doesn't specifically get "target land," but can do so when it's "target permanent".[3]
