Lore

Why it matters

Living Lore is a rare creature from the Dragons of Tarkir set that stands out for its unique ability to "consume" spells from the graveyard to power its size. Collectors often prize this card for its evocative art by Jason Felix and its distinct mechanical design, which creates a high-risk, high-reward gameplay experience.

Card face

What it does

As this creature enters, exile an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard.

Living Lore's power and toughness are each equal to the exiled card's mana value.

Whenever this creature deals combat damage, you may sacrifice it. If you do, you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost.

Provenance

Where it came from

Living Lore was released in 2015 as part of the Dragons of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to embody the set's thematic focus on the passage of time and the shifting nature of history on the plane of Tarkir, serving as a mechanical representation of a manifestation of forgotten memories or lost spells from the world's ancient past.

The artwork was commissioned from Jason Felix, who utilized his signature digital painting style to create a spectral, swirling entity that appears to be composed of arcane scripts and ethereal energy. His interpretation aimed to visualize the concept of 'living knowledge,' and the card was generally received by the player base as a unique, high-risk combo piece that rewarded players for manipulating their graveyards.
