About Sample Collector

Sample Collector, Creature — troll detective, designed by Borja Pindado first released in Jan, 2024 in the set Murders at Karlov Manor. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.06.

A deck that focuses on graveyard recursion and creature buffing would benefit from using Sample Collector, as it provides a way to both generate card advantage and strengthen your creatures simultaneously. While Sample Collector has its niche uses, there are potentially better cards like Tarmogoyf or Scavenging Ooze that offer more consistent value and impact in various deck archetypes, making it less likely for Sample Collector to see play in competitive Magic: the Gathering formats.
