Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Low initial mana cost, making it easily playable in the early game.
  • Can be cast from the graveyard, giving it resilience and staying power.
  • Versatile, as it can be placed on different creatures across multiple turns.
• Weaknesses:
  • The buff is minimal, only providing a +1/+1 boost.
  • Vulnerable to enchantment removal and graveyard hate.

Deck Utility:

• Aura Decks: Fits naturally into an Aura-focused deck where the graveyard can be a resource.

• Aggro Decks: Can be a cheap way to make an early creature more threatening.

• Voltron Decks: Can be another piece of the puzzle in a deck focused on beefing up a single creature.

• Recursion Decks: The ability to cast from the graveyard makes it synergize well with cards that care about casting spells from unusual zones.

Interactions and Combos:

• Cards that care about Auras: Any card that interacts positively with Auras will synergize with this.

• Self-Mill or Loot effects: You can put it into your graveyard deliberately to cast it later.

• Creatures with Evolve or similar mechanics: These creatures can make the most out of the +1/+1 boost.

Flavor and Lore:
The name "Raffine's Guidance" suggests some form of mentorship or wisdom being passed down. It would likely have art showing a seasoned warrior or mage instructing a younger counterpart, symbolizing the Aura’s buffing effect.

Overall Impression:
Raffine's Guidance is a simple but flexible card. Its main selling point is its ability to come back from the graveyard, essentially providing a recurring +1/+1 buff at a moderate cost. This can make it an annoying threat in the long game, especially in decks that can maximize its utility. It’s not flashy, but its resilience can make it a solid addition to the right deck.
