Oracle Text
Return up to one target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand.
Create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
True Ancestry reads like a quiet lesson in resilience: in an Avatar setting, it feels less like flashy bending and more like honoring what came before, pulling a lost tool or ally back into the present while studying the next clue. Mechanically, it is a clean value card for green midrange and control shells, especially decks that want to recur key permanents such as utility creatures, enchantments, or ramp pieces. Returning a permanent card from your graveyard to hand helps you recover after trades or removal, while the Clue token turns the spell into future card advantage rather than a one-shot refill. It is especially strong with self-mill, sacrifice, or landfall-style lists that fill the graveyard naturally, and it pairs well with permanents that reward being replayed. In slower games, True Ancestry helps grind opponents out; in tempo decks, it can buy back exactly the threat or engine that keeps your board ahead.
