What it does

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 "tap, Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.")

Students working in the field for the first time learn the benefits of small, agile spirit statues over large, strong ones.

Provenance

Where it came from

Relic Retriever was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages Commander set. The card was designed for the 'Lorehold Legacies' deck, which centers on the mechanics of excavating artifacts and graveyard interaction, reflecting the academic archeology theme of the Strixhaven college. It serves as a tactical tool for players to return fallen artifacts to their hand, reinforcing the set's focus on historical preservation and magical research.

The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Aldo Domínguez, who captured a spectral, scholarly figure meticulously sifting through ancient remnants. Domínguez utilized a vibrant, mystical color palette to evoke the feeling of a magical library or ruin, aligning with the overall aesthetic direction of the Strixhaven plane. Upon its release, the card was well-received by Commander players for its utility in artifact-centric archetypes, praised for its specific synergy with the 'exile' mechanic common in white-aligned strategies.
