Provenance

Where it came from

Curate was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set within the multiversal university of Strixhaven, the card features the card type of instant, reflecting the theme of magical study and academic preparation that defines the set's mechanical identity.

The artwork was provided by Izzy, a long-time contributor to the game. The design captures a scholarly mage amidst an array of floating scrolls and arcane implements, emphasizing the card's function of digging through one's library to find specific knowledge. It was designed as a functional common, providing players with efficient card selection and graveyard synergy in both limited and constructed formats.
