List of all pertinent recursion in EDH.

What this includes:

• Cards that can return one or more cards from your graveyard to your hand, battlefield, or top of library.

What this doesn't include:

• Cards that only recur one creature to the top of library or hand for more than 1 mana, unless it's a land. This also counts recurring a creature with a maximum converted mana cost on cards that cost more than 1 plus that converted mana cost. If a card gets multiple creature cards, it is not on this list if it costs more than an additional 2 mana per additional creature. In a similar vein, this list is also not including cards that cost 6 mana or more per creature recurred to the battlefield except for instant-speed cards.
• Cards that take a long time to recur cards.
• Cards with massive drawbacks, such as losing the game or losing half your life.
• Cards that exile the creature cards recurred, making them unable to be recurred again.
• Cards that cost more than 3 times the maximum number of cards they can recur to the hand/library.
• Cards that recur cards at random.
• Cards that only recur cards with specific abilities, like Abandoned Sarcophagus and Halimar Tidecaller.
