The Creation of Avacyn
Oracle Text
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Search your library for a card, exile it face down, then shuffle.
II — Turn the exiled card face up. If it's a creature card, you lose life equal to its mana value.
III — You may put the exiled card onto the battlefield if it's a creature card. If you don't put it onto the battlefield, put it into its owner's hand.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
The Creation of Avacyn plays like a darkly clever value engine, best suited to control or midrange decks that can leverage delayed tutoring without immediately exposing their plans. On the first chapter, it effectively “banks” a card from your library, which makes it excellent for finding a silver bullet, combo piece, or recursive threat while hiding it from discard and countermagic for a turn cycle. The second and third chapters reward you if the exiled card is a creature, letting you cheat it onto the battlefield or at least reclaim it to hand, though the life-loss tax means you should favor creatures with a manageable mana value or life gain support. It pairs especially well with ETB creatures, reanimation-adjacent shells, and decks that want guaranteed access to a key threat like a legend or utility creature. The name evokes a ritualized, uneasy act of creation, and the gameplay matches that tone: powerful, deliberate, and a little dangerous.
