About Alhammarret's Archive

Alhammarret's Archive, Legendary artifact, designed by Richard Wright first released in Jul, 2015 in the set Magic Origins and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4805.96.

A deck that focuses on gaining life and drawing cards would benefit the most from including Alhammarret's Archive, as it amplifies these effects significantly. However, there are better cards like Rhystic Study or Necropotence that provide more consistent card advantage or life gain in various formats, making them potentially stronger choices depending on the deck's strategy. Alhammarret's Archive could still see play in casual or themed decks looking to maximize life gain and card draw synergies for a fun twist on gameplay.

Rules

06/22/15

Because Alhammarret’s Archive is legendary, it’s unlikely that one player will control two. However, if that happens, life gained by that player will be multiplied by four. Three Archives will multiply that life gain by eight, and so on.

06/22/15

If an effect would set your life total to a specific number that’s higher than your current life total, that effect would cause you to gain life equal to the difference. Alhammarret’s Archive will then double the amount of life that effect would cause you to gain. For example, if you have 3 life and an effect says that your life total “becomes 10,” your life total will actually become 17.

06/22/15

In a Two-Headed Giant game, only the controller of Alhammarret’s Archive is affected by it. If that player’s teammate gains life, Alhammarret’s Archive will have no effect, even when that life gain is applied to the team’s shared life total.
