Dragonbroods' Relic — Forge the Reliquary
Dragonbroods' Relic is a compact utility artifact with a green casting cost that rewards board development and long games. The first ability turns an untapped creature into flexible mana by requiring both the artifact and a creature to tap, which pairs naturally with creatures that can tap for value or creatures you intend to keep back as mana engines. Experienced players will recognize this as a mana-fixing tool that accelerates splash colors or fuels a big multicolor payoff.
The secondary ability reads like a late game plan. For a heavy colored investment you sacrifice the Relic to create a 4 4 Reliquary Dragon token that is all colors, flies and lifelinks while entering with a three damage trigger. That token both stabilizes and closes games and it scales with decks that can make use of multiple colors. Use the Relic to smooth early turns and convert it into a decisive threat when you have the mana to pay the activation cost.
