Wight of the Reliquary: Vigilant Zombie Knight
Wight of the Reliquary is a vigilant option for black green midrange plans, a Zombie Knight that scales with the graveyard. It starts as a solid 2/2 with Vigilance and grows with each creature card in your graveyard, rewarding a strategy that efficiently fills the bin. Its color pair and mana cost {B}{G} fit into hybrid or splashy builds that value interaction and resilient bodies on the battlefield.
Its activated ability provides a meaningful churn option: by paying {B} and sacrificing another creature, you can search for a land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. That fetch helps fix mana and unlock bigger plays, even as you maintain pressure. The flavor text hints at a backstory where Bant’s landscape and dark bargains coexist, giving this knight a touch of lore that complements its practical role on the table.
