Pursue the Past, Sorcery, designed by Craig Elliott first released in Apr, 2026 in the set Secrets of Strixhaven.
**Pursue the Past** would fit best in aggressive or midrange Boros (red-white) decks that want cheap value, graveyard synergy, and card filtering—particularly decks that benefit from discard (madness, reanimation splashes, flashback synergy, or graveyard-based strategies) or that want to trigger prowess-like effects while maintaining pressure. The life gain is minor but relevant against aggro, and the rummage-into-draw-two effect provides strong card flow, especially with flashback offering late-game value. However, in competitive formats, Boros decks often prefer more efficient or impactful card advantage options such as **Faithless Looting** (more efficient graveyard enabler), **Thrilling Discovery** (similar effect with better life gain synergy), or format staples like **Expressive Iteration** (where legal) for raw efficiency. In slower formats, **Sevinne’s Reclamation** or other recursive value spells may outclass it depending on strategy. This card would likely see play in synergy
