Legendary Creature — Spirit Horse
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.)

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.
An artifact creature card or enchantment creature card returned this way will have base power and toughness 1/1.
If a card in a graveyard has
in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
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.
