Oh ho! Sneaky! ­Lightning Elemental + ... Reassembling Skeleton is the modern one I think? I really want the irritating "If it's in your graveyard with a creature above it it comes back one"

The sneaky part is that this lets you skip your draw step; which can be a lot more than just "Draw a card". So inviting combo possibilities.

The bad part... this CAN stick around, and it's cheaper than Hellspark Elemental (which is actually closer to this card). On the flip side, recasting the hellspark gives you an extra card, while this just replaces your draw? Mmmmmaybe.

I think I'd cost this at {1}{r} to be safe. 3/1 on turn 1 (and it isn't sacrificed, so it's still there on turn 2) is incredibly scary, after all. And you can get it back whenever you need? Too cheap for me.

Oops - left out the sac line - this is Spark Elemental with the return clause...which does make it similar to Hellspark Elemental. Notes say it was left at {r} because you had to skip draw step to return it.

Well. Maybe. The hellspark comes back only once; this can come back forever. And, I think, you could recall all four of them and skip only one draw step to do so?

Yes you absolutely could - so maybe it SHOULD be {1}{r}

Changed cost - was originally {r}

I think {1}{r} is more sensible for a Hellspark Elemental that keeps coming back.
