Echo
(At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)When this creature enters, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 12 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
2 PrecedentsYour permanent's echo ability will trigger at the beginning of your upkeep if it entered the battlefield since the beginning of your last upkeep, or if you gained control of it since the beginning of your last upkeep.
Paying for echo is always optional. When the echo triggered ability resolves, if you can't pay the echo cost or choose not to, you sacrifice that permanent.
