Card face

What it does

2 generic mana, tap: Target player exiles a card from their graveyard. If it's a creature card, you gain 2 life.

Thanks to Havengul's thriving illegal market for corpses, the shovel that interred a body during the day is usually the same one digging it out at night.

Provenance

Where it came from

Graveyard Shovel was released in 2011 as part of the Innistrad set for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed with a gothic horror theme, drawing inspiration from classic monster movies and folklore. This card, classified as an uncommon artifact, functions within the game's mechanics to interact with player graveyards, fitting perfectly into the set's central focus on life, death, and resurrection.

The card features artwork by Martina Pilcerova, who has contributed extensively to the Magic: The Gathering franchise. Her design emphasizes the grim, functional aesthetic of a burial tool, capturing the tactile and unsettling tone of the Innistrad plane. Upon release, the card was received as a niche utility tool, valued by players for its ability to provide incremental life gain while disrupting graveyard-based strategies.
