When this creature enters, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.) At the beginning of your upkeep, if this card is in your graveyard, you may pay 1 life. If you do, return it to your hand.
Coming back from the dead, like most things, gets easier with practice.
