Retriever Phoenix

Description

Identified by card number 90094, this creature belongs to the Phoenix subtype and carries a mana cost of {3}{R}. Designed by Karl Kopinski, the card offers distinct gameplay mechanics that appeal to strategy-focused collectors. As a Flying creature with Haste, the Retriever Phoenix can immediately impact the board upon being cast. Its primary ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, allowing the player to learn a lesson by revealing a Lesson card from outside the game or discarding a card to draw one. This learning mechanic creates a unique interaction loop, particularly when the card is in the graveyard. If you would learn while it resides there, you may choose to return the Retriever Phoenix to the battlefield instead of drawing a card. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this promo card represents a specific era of digital distribution that bridged online play with physical collectibility. The foil finish adds visual depth, making it a desirable addition for those who appreciate the aesthetic variety found in promotional sets. Collectors often seek out cards from the Magic Online Promos series to complete thematic groups or to acquire specific mechanical interactions that define certain formats. Whether you are building a collection of promotional artifacts or focusing on creature types, the Retriever Phoenix stands out for its clever graveyard recursion potential. Its design and mechanics reflect the innovative spirit of the 2021 release, offering both strategic depth and collectible value.
