It is the thirteenth Deck in the TCG 's annual Starter Deck series, following Starter Deck: Link Strike
If "Artmage Academic Arcane Arts Acropolis" you control would be destroyed by card effect, you can send this card you control to the GY instead
Its power will easily outstrip is mana value, and it has the all-important trample ability
It's fun to play and enables many possible strategies: Merfolk, +1/+1 counters, graveyard strategies, or good old-fashioned midrange with creatures that generate value and get more prominent as the game goes on
Return to the Ranks is an extremely powerful cardthe fact that you have to pay one additional mana for each creature that often costs two additional mana means youre already getting a good rate as X increases, but with convoke allowing you to minimize the amount of mana youre actually playing, you can get a card that has a much more radical impact on the game than the amount of mana you have available would normally allow
