Patch Up

Strategy & Gameplay

Patch Up is a versatile white sorcery from Streets of New Capenna that offers exceptional value recovery in graveyard-focused strategies. For just three mana, this spell can return up to three creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield, provided their combined mana value doesn't exceed three. This makes it an incredibly efficient way to rebuild your board presence after a sweeper or to simultaneously resurrect multiple small creatures that have been milled or discarded. The flexibility of the mana value restriction means you could return three one-drops, a single three-drop, or any combination in between, making it adaptable to whatever creatures are available in your graveyard at the moment of casting. Players looking to incorporate Patch Up into their decks will find it particularly strong in creature-heavy strategies that naturally fill the graveyard, such as sacrifice decks, mill strategies, and recursion-focused archetypes. It pairs exceptionally well with creature-based token generators and cards with enter-the-battlefield effects, allowing you to leverage those triggers multiple times. The card's broad format legality across Historic, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, and Commander makes it accessible regardless of your preferred play environment. Whether you're playing aggressive go-wide strategies, value-oriented creature decks, or control shells that need creature-based answers, Patch Up provides efficient recursion that can turn a depleted board state into a winning position while maintaining excellent mana efficiency.
