While it is also true in the One Piece Card Game, the Animal Kingdom Pirates deck does things a little differently from most
Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn't an ability that goes on the stack, it won't cease to exist along with the leaving player's spells and abilities on the stack
Now Im not going to keep repeating how +1/+1 counter synergies are everywhere, but what I really like otherwise about the abilities here is that you can trigger them on any turn once, so if you have an engine for life gain going and triggering on every turn with say Properous Innkeeper and Beledros Witherbloom (also in the deck), youll be sitting pretty on you next turn with possibly four 7/7 racoons
After chapter III of The Great Work resolves, casting spells from graveyards follows the normal rules for casting those cards
Interestingly, though, Final Fantasy will also bring with it a bonus sheet full of reprints from throughout MTGs past
