Oracle Text
Trample, lifelink
At the beginning of combat on your turn, exile up to one target card from a graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Startled Relic Sloth is a deceptively efficient four-mana threat that fits best in a midrange or tempo-leaning Boros shell, where it can stabilize the board and immediately pressure life totals. A 4/4 with trample and lifelink already makes combat awkward for the opponent, letting you race while padding your own life total, but the real value comes from its attack-triggered graveyard exile. Beginning of combat, you can surgically remove a key card from any graveyard, which is excellent against flashback, reanimation, delve, threshold-style payoffs, or recursive combo pieces. That makes it more than just a body; it’s a relevant piece of interaction stapled to a finisher. In deckbuilding, pair it with effects that reward life gain or combat damage, such as trigger-based burn or +1/+1 counters, and consider ways to force repeated attacks so the graveyard hate keeps mattering. The name and stats suggest a creature that looks harmless but quietly derails opposing plans, exactly the kind of resilient value threat red-white likes to deploy.
