Emeritus of Ideation // Ancestral Recall, Creature — human wizard , designed by Evyn Fong & Evyn Fong first released in Mar, 2026 in the set Secrets of Strixhaven and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
Emeritus of Ideation // Ancestral Recall would fit best in a graveyard‑centric blue tempo or midrange deck that can reliably fill its graveyard (self‑mill, looting, cheap cantrips, fetch lands) and leverage evasive threats—likely in formats where Delver‑style or Murktide‑style shells exist—since the attack trigger rewards stocked graveyards and the ward {2} plus flying helps it connect; however, exiling eight cards is a steep cost compared to existing options, and the payoff (target player draws three cards) is risky unless you can repeatedly target yourself for value or combo off immediately, making it awkward in competitive play. In most formats, there are simply better, cheaper, and more efficient draw engines—Treasure Cruise (often 1 mana to draw three), Dig Through Time, Murktide Regent as a graveyard payoff, or even Ledger Shredder for incremental advantage—so this card would likely be too slow and resource‑intensive for high‑power Constructed formats, though it could be reasonab
