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 see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.98. 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.
