Back from the Brink

{4}{U}{U}Enchantment

Exile a creature card from your graveyard and pay its mana cost: Create a token that's a copy of that card. Activate only as a sorcery.

Official rulings

  1. If you exile a double-faced creature card this way, you'll pay the mana cost of the front face. The token will be a copy of the front face and it won't be able to transform. (2011-09-22)
  2. Although you're paying the card's mana cost, you aren't casting that card. Abilities that reduce the cost to cast a creature spell won't apply, and additional costs to cast that creature can't be paid. Alternative costs that affect what it costs to cast a creature spell, such as evoke, can't. (2011-09-22)
  3. Any "enters" abilities of the creature will trigger when the token enters. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the creature will also work. (2011-09-22)
  4. If the exiled creature card has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be zero. (2011-09-22)
