Relic Retriever
Oracle Text
First strike
At the beginning of each end step, if a card left your graveyard this turn, create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.")
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Relic Retriever is a nimble red value engine that fits best in tempo-leaning aggro or resource-recursion shells, where its 2/1 body and first strike let it pressure early while discouraging awkward blocks. The real prize is the end-step Treasure trigger: if you can get cards out of your graveyard repeatedly, it quietly turns rummage, flashback, delve, escape, and sacrifice recursion into extra mana. In practice, that makes it especially appealing in decks built around cheap self-mill, looting, or artifact synergies, since Treasures both accelerate you and fix colors for splashy follow-up plays. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with effects that return cards to hand or exile them from the graveyard as a cost, such as escape-style threats or sacrifice-for-value spells, so you reliably “cash in” the graveyard every turn cycle. The Spirit Monkey flavor feels appropriately restless and scavenging, like a clever campus kleptomaniac that turns discarded knowledge into actual riches.
