Wight of the Reliquary: Graveyard Ramp
Wight of the Reliquary is a solid midrange threat from Modern Horizons 3 that scales with the bits of your graveyard. This Creature — Zombie Knight comes into play as a 2/2 with Vigilance, and its power grows by one for every creature card tucked in your graveyard. In long games, that incremental boost makes it harder to ignore, as your graveyard becomes a reservoir that feeds its strength while you apply pressure.
Its second ability provides a reliable mana option: for {B}, sacrifice another creature to tutor a land card from your library onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle. This is a practical tool for fixing mana or accelerating into haymaker plays, especially when paired with sacrifice outlets or recursion. The flavor text nods to a darker inheritance of knowledge, hinting at the demonic forces that prize mastery of the land and its cycles.
