Karn, Scion of Urza
Oracle Text
+1: Reveal the top two cards of your library. An opponent chooses one of them. Put that card into your hand and exile the other with a silver counter on it.
−1: Put a card you own with a silver counter on it from exile into your hand.
−2: Create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with "This token gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Karn, Scion of Urza is a classic value engine that best supports control, midrange, and artifact-based tempo decks, where every activation can turn into real card advantage or board pressure. His +1 is deceptively strong: even though an opponent picks the hand card, you still effectively get selection quality while stockpiling the exiled card for later, and the silver counter means Karn keeps creating a resource loop rather than just drawing once. The −1 is the glue, letting you cash in those exiled cards for hand advantage after a few turns, so avoid running him in decks without ways to reliably benefit from long games. His −2 is especially potent in artifact shells, since the Construct scales with every artifact on the battlefield; pairing him with cheap baubles, treasure production, or modular-style artifact density makes the token quickly threatening. In practice, protect Karn early, then let him convert time into inevitability.
