You know, the thing about reanimation cards like these is that generally you want the spell to be CHEAPER than the creature you're trying to reanimate. Adding indestructibility is a fine reason to bump up the cost a little, but you have to realize that any reanimation target is already going to be hard enough to deal with and if it needed indestructibility to make it playable it wouldn't have been considered a target in the first place.

I think 7 is a fine price to pay for a spell that lets me get an indestructible Emrakul after I discard him. Instant speed means it can respond to those pesky graveyard shufflers.

I wouldn't want to hardcast this, but it might be worth it imprinted on a Spellbinder.

Cast this on an Archetype of Endurance to make an indestructible dude that makes your creatures hexproof, and it costs less than his normal CMC. Handy for BG reanimator decks that decide to run a little bit of mana ramping. Of course the BBB cost is difficult to surmount, but hey, it's just a thought.

Surely a very nice card for Black's arsenal, but flavorwise I'm wondering why it grants indestructability. That's not Black's ability. Perhaps if it also changed the raised creature to an enchantment creature which is the theme in Theros block. Now it looks just a random non-flavorful chase card for EDH players.
Well, just tired of the continuous bleeding of color pie...

@eskan also, 'restoration,' sounds too , and anything rooted in 'reversal' sounds too .

i like rise from the grave in a casual mill deck because it's cheaper.
Don't know if i'll try this one.

I like the card and have put it in my Kaalia deck to reanimate the many Angels, Demons, and Dragons it has. I'm unsure though if it is worth in a Lazav/Phenax mill deck simply because of one card that seems to be in every deck in my local meta: Homeward Path!
Spend 7 mana to effectively give the owner an indestructible threat that you already milled/killed/made the discard. Now, I could reanimate my own guys in the mill deck sure, but it doesn't run that many, like 10-15.

Recursion is the word you're thinking of.
