Essence Reliquary: Vault and Return
Essence Reliquary is a practical two mana white artifact from Modern Horizons 3 that offers a precise way to reset a key piece on the battlefield. Tap to return another target permanent you control and all Auras attached to it to its owner's hand. Activate only during your turn. This lets you temporarily remove a troublesome aura or reconfigure attachments for a future play, making it a solid addition to white's tempo and control toolkit.
In practice, the relic shines when you want to reposition auras after safeguarding a permanent or reattach buffs to a new target later. The flavor text hints at guarding treasured memories, a theme that mirrors white strategies that preserve what matters while reshaping threats on the battlefield.
