Reliquary Ready
Dragonbroods' Relic plays like a toolkit for midrange players who plan to finish games with creatures rather than attrition. The artifact gives steady color fixing by tapping an untapped creature for any color of mana, which keeps your curve honest and enables splashy spells. In practice the Relic is a safe ramp piece early and a win condition seed later since the sacrifice ability creates a 4/4 Reliquary Dragon that has flying and lifelink while dealing immediate value when it enters.
As seen in the Tarkir Dragonstorm frame the Relic sits between ramp and weave piece. Use it to fuel multicolor spells or to turn a board of utility creatures into a single game changing threat. The printed second ability demands a five color investment but rewards you with a resilient token that closes life totals and removes low cost blockers. If you build around artifact synergies or want reliable color access in a near mint copy from Tarkir Dragonstorm this card is straightforward and effective.
