Wight of the Reliquary is an Undead presence from Modern Horizons 3 that rewards a graveyard strategy. This damaged copy presents as a 2/2 creature with vigilance, letting it attack and stay ready to block. It grows by the number of creature cards in your graveyard, becoming a bigger threat as the game progresses. Its black green mana cost supports a flexible ramp and reanimation plan, and its activated ability taps into a reliable fetch: you may pay {B} and sacrifice another creature to search your library for a land and put it onto the battlefield tapped.
In practice, Wight fits a midrange or dredge style that wants to convert excess creatures into mana acceleration and a growing threat on the battlefield. The card’s flavor hints at dark alliances and ancient knowledge, a small nod to Bant’s landscape as the world shifts under your graveyard counts and land drops. The result is a practical, measured addition to a Black-Green shell that respects the set’s cadence without overflow.
