Extraction Specialist: Rogue Retrieval Expert
Extraction Specialist embodies the cunning spirit of New Capenna’s underworld, wielding both finesse and utility with equal ease. This Human Rogue brings more than just a steady lifeline to the battlefield through lifelink; it doubles as a tactical recovery agent. Upon entering the fray, Extraction Specialist fetches a target creature from your graveyard with mana value 2 or less, resurrecting crucial pieces for your strategy. This effect synergizes well with low-cost creatures like Magnetic Theft or Spined Karok, reinforcing board presence while maintaining momentum.
Though the retrieved creature cannot attack or block as long as Extraction Specialist remains in your control, this limitation encourages savvy positioning and synergy with cards that benefit from sacrifice or static presence. Its 3-mana cost makes it an accessible choice for decks seeking resilience and incremental advantage. Practitioners of white-based rogue decks will find Extraction Specialist a dependable tool for midgame recursion and sustained pressure.
