About Salvager of Ruin

Salvager of Ruin, Artifact creature — construct, designed by James Paick first released in Jul, 2019 in the set Core Set 2020. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.52. It's a key card in 9 combos.

Salvager of Ruin would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on sacrificing permanents or has a strategy revolving around recurring powerful permanents from the graveyard. While Salvager of Ruin provides a useful ability to return a permanent card to your hand, other cards like Goblin Engineer or Goblin Welder offer more versatile and powerful graveyard recursion options, making them better choices for decks looking to abuse graveyard interactions. Salvager of Ruin could see play in more casual or budget decks, but may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its limited scope compared to other options available.

Rules

07/12/19

Because targets are chosen for activated abilities before costs (such as “Sacrifice Salvager of Ruin”) are paid, Salvager of Ruin’s ability can’t target itself.

07/12/19

Salvager of Ruin’s ability can target a permanent card in your graveyard that was put there from the battlefield before Salvager of Ruin entered the battlefield during the same turn.
