Treasure Trove
Buried Treasure is a compact artifact that performs two roles. On the battlefield it converts itself into immediate mana by tapping and sacrificing for one mana of any color. From the graveyard it becomes a late game value engine for digging up impactful spells when you can spare five mana and a sorcery timing window. The Near Mint Foil printing preserves the art and card face cleanly which matters when you are tracking a small metagame edge.
For players building into The Lost Caverns of Ixalan themes this card is a straightforward utility piece. Use the sacrifice ability to ramp into a play or to fix colors for a crucial turn. Use the exile ability when you need a high variance tutor that can net a castable spell for free or put a useful card into hand. The card reads and behaves predictably which makes it simple to slot into artifact based decks and Commander lists that value repeatable card advantage from the graveyard.
