How about introducing the “graveyard” as we know from paper magic? Player could browse it anytime to see what was cast, what creatures are there for resurection, what spells that can be brought back etc.
Similar, how about a short history of the gameplay events, something like “rewind,” the improvements made the recent game very fast (tokens) and the tables may turn in a matter of seconds before you can read the spell’s description or know what exactly happened.
