Magic: The Gathering single: Shallow Grave, from Mirage. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card.

Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.
Item Description
"Good help is hard to dig up," jokes the flavor text, and Shallow Grave turns that punchline into a two-mana instant. It returns the top creature card of your graveyard to the battlefield with haste, lets it go to work, then exiles it at the beginning of the next end step. One borrowed turn from a dead creature sounds modest until you realize the right creature only needs one.
The fun is in the word "top." Shallow Grave doesn't let you choose; it grabs whichever creature card sits highest in your graveyard, so building around it means controlling that order by discarding a giant at the right moment, letting a big threat die in combat, or sequencing your sacrifices carefully. Old hands also know the timing trick: cast it during an opponent's end step, after the end-step triggers have passed, and the exile trigger waits until the end of your own turn, giving the creature a full turn to attack or use its abilities. It shines with creatures that do their damage immediately, whether through attack triggers, enters-the-battlefield effects or one enormous swing.
This is the original Mirage printing from 1996, collector number 141, a black-bordered rare illustrated by John Coulthart. Mirage opened the Jamuraa storyline, and this card carries that era's mix of quirky rules design and graveyard humor, making it a satisfying piece for an old-school binder or a reanimation-flavored Commander deck that loves a surprise.
