Flying, haste

Whenever Excava attacks, return up to one target artifact, creature, or non-Aura enchantment card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. It's a 1/1 Spirit creature with flying in addition to its other types. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

Official rulings 4

An Equipment that's also a creature can't be attached to anything. You can activate its equip ability, but it won't become attached.

March 20, 2026
An artifact creature card or enchantment creature card returned this way will have base power and toughness 1/1.

March 20, 2026
If a card in a graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

March 20, 2026
If another effect causes one of the returned permanents to become a creature and sets its base power and toughness as it does so, that creature will have that power and toughness; it won't be 1/1. However, a Vehicle returned this way will remain a 1/1 if you crew it, and a Spacecraft returned this way will remain a 1/1 even if enough charge counters are placed on it for it to become a creature.
