About Relic Retriever

Relic Retriever, Creature — spirit monkey, designed by Aldo Domínguez first released in Apr, 2026 in the set Secrets of Strixhaven Commander and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

Relic Retriever fits best in red-based graveyard-recursion or “graveyard value” decks—especially ones that repeatedly exile or return cards from their graveyard, such as escape, flashback, unearth, delve, reanimation, or artifact-recursion strategies—because it turns incidental graveyard movement into steady Treasure generation; it’s particularly appealing in Commander decks like Prosper, Tome-Bound, Feldon of the Third Path, or any build using Underworld Breach or Sevinne’s Reclamation–style effects, where triggering it every turn is realistic. However, at 1R for a 2/2 first striker (assuming standard stats) that only makes one Treasure per end step and only if a card left your graveyard, it’s somewhat conditional and slow compared to stronger red value engines like Professional Face-Breaker (more consistent Treasure production through combat), Goldspan Dragon (immediate and explosive Treasure scaling), Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer (faster mana advantage), or even Storm-Kiln Artist in spe
