So, this isn’t about MTG?
Here's a top tip. It won't work. People in the biz know this but its fun fleecing stupid people who like to burn cash.
You know, you'd be surprised, but most life winds up in dead ends. The number of extinct species exceeds the number of extant species by many fold.
They aren't sexy enough to fleece your $$$. I'm cloning neanderthal man in my lab. Come see! Bring your wads of $$$$.
I don't overpromise and under deliver my friend. I speak da truth. You can't make up genomic DNA that is missing. Even if you could, there are multiple things that need to happen to get out a viable clone. This is just fluff science and stealing money from rich people who have a "vested interest" in seeing if this can be done. It can't at least not in our lifetimes. But it's fun to contemplate.
Tech might advance but lost DNA is lost DNA. You might be able to guess at sequence, but once gone, it's gone. Extracting intact genomic DNA, even from living cells, is difficult, not to mention sequencing errors and artifacts are common and happen all the time. Even for singular genes, we sequence at least 5 times to make sure things are correct. Fun day dreams though. If you want to see real and sophisticated science, I could upload some crap on to youtube.
CRISPR was not discovered 35 years ago. Maybe you meant to say a few years ago. I am not a Ray Kurzweil to predict the future but it's hard to fill in informational gaps, including in DNA. It's as simple as that.

CRISPR, in its current workable form, is only a few years old. The concepts that underpin CRISPR, as you've rightly suggested, are multiple decades old. Using what they knew in 1987 would have made no difference for scientists like me in a lab doing applied science. This form of information building, until it is matured, is common in science. See for example, restriction enzymes, gibson cloning. So to say CRISPR has existed since 1987 is a real stretch. I worked in labs in 1987 and what we could do then was rudimentary at best. I mean sad by today's standards.That's what I learned in Genetics and a quick search:
The first hint of their existence came in 1987, when an unusual repetitive DNA sequence, which subsequently was defined as a CRISPR, was discovered in the Escherichia coli genome during an analysis of genes involved in phosphate metabolism.
History of CRISPR-Cas from Encounter with a Mysterious Repeated Sequence to Genome Editing Technology - PMC
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas systems are well-known acquired immunity systems that are widespread in archaea and bacteria. The RNA-guided nucleases from CRISPR-Cas systems are currently regarded as the most ...
That's fine. I'll give you a point for that. And I would argue about "discovery" but you have an axe to grind so be it. I'll put this to you in simple terms. No lost creatures are going to be reanimated during your life time. Maybe your reincarnated soul will see Earth like it existed before the current ice age and deglaciation.
