Gift of Doomutility$5.85Both are black Auras that let you keep getting value from a creature and protect it in a sticky way. Gift of Doom also gives a powerful death-trigger-like safeguard, though it costs morph instead of enchantment recursion.Animate Deadreanimation$0.99A classic black reanimation Aura that brings a creature back and keeps it under your control. It fills a very similar battlefield-recursion role, though it targets any creature in a graveyard instead of one already in play.Necromancyreanimation$12.56Another close functional analogue to Shade's Form's 'return to the battlefield under your control' effect. It reanimates a dead creature as an Aura-based black enchantment and can be cast at instant speed in a pinch.Reanimatereanimation$15.28A premier black recursion spell that directly returns a creature from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control. It lacks the Aura and pump ability, but it serves the same core role of recycling creatures into play.Phyrexian Reclamationrecursion$3.56Both cards provide repeatable creature recovery in black, turning dead creatures back into resources. This is less immediate and more card-advantage oriented, but it is a strong budget-friendly recursion engine.Puppet Stringsutility$1.14Like Shade's Form, this is a black aura-style creature manipulation piece that can turn a creature into a repeatable source of utility. It doesn't reanimate, but it offers ongoing activation-based value from an enchanted creature.Fallen Idealutility$0.43A black Aura that grants a creature a repeatable activated ability, much like Shade's Form's pump ability. It also has built-in resilience by coming back if the enchanted creature dies, though to hand instead of battlefield.Unhallowed PactutilityBudget$0.06This is one of the closest 'dies, come back' black Auras in concept, creating a persistent creature threat through death triggers. It doesn't reanimate the same way, but it preserves board presence and value from a creature dying.
