About Curator of Mysteries

Curator of Mysteries, Creature — sphinx, designed by Christine Choi first released in May, 2020 in the set Resale Promos and was printed exactly in 10 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 0.12. It's a key card in 5 combos.

A deck focused on cycling and card advantage, such as a control or tempo deck, would benefit from including Curator of Mysteries. While it provides a nice incremental advantage with its scry ability and synergizes well with cycling strategies, there may be better options for a similar role in certain decks, such as Nimble Obstructionist for its versatility or Torrential Gearhulk for its powerful instant-speed card advantage. Whether Curator of Mysteries should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck, but it can be a solid inclusion in the right context.

Rules

An ability that triggers whenever you “cycle or discard” a card triggers only once if you cycle a card. The ability “Whenever you discard a card” is functionally identical to this ability; cycling is mentioned for clarity.

Some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.
