Simic Locket

Description

Released in 2019 as part of the Ravnica Allegiance expansion, the Simic Locket (card number 240) is a foil artifact card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Crafted by artist Yeong-Hao Han, this card features a shimmering finish that distinguishes it within the set's common rarity tier. The card is identified by the set code RNA and holds a mana value of three, reflecting its resource cost to play. In gameplay, the Simic Locket serves as a flexible mana producer. Players can tap the artifact to add either green or blue mana to their pool. For those seeking card advantage, the card offers a powerful sacrifice effect: by paying four mana of mixed colors and tapping the artifact, a player can sacrifice it to draw two cards. This mechanic allows for strategic resource management, enabling collectors and players to balance mana acceleration with hand size expansion. The flavor text, attributed to Vannifar, adds narrative depth by suggesting the locket’s meaning is personal to its holder. This thematic element resonates with fans of the Ravnica setting, where guild identity and symbolism are central to the world-building. The Simic Locket foil represents a tangible piece of this expansive universe, appealing to those who appreciate both the strategic utility and the aesthetic presentation of the game. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of the Ravnica Allegiance set or seeking specific foil treatments for display, this card stands out for its dual-color identity and functional design. The combination of Yeong-Hao Han’s artwork and the foil treatment makes it a notable entry for Magic: The Gathering collectors interested in the Simic guild's aesthetic and mechanical contributions.
