Identified by the set code STX and card number 253, this Rare card is a Legendary Artifact Creature — Book Construct that has captivated players since its release. Designed by Daniel Ljunggren, the card brings a distinct mechanical identity to the game that appeals to collectors and strategists alike. Codie, Vociferous Codex features a mana cost of three and a mana value of three, making it an accessible addition to any deck. As a five-color identity card, it provides access to White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green mana. When tapped for four mana, Codie generates one of each color simultaneously. This ability allows players to cast spells of any color, bypassing traditional mono-colored restrictions. However, there is a significant drawback: while Codie is on the battlefield, you cannot cast permanent spells. This constraint forces players to build decks around instants and sorceries, creating a specialized and engaging gameplay experience. The card’s secondary ability allows you to exile cards from the top of your library until you find an instant or sorcery with a lesser mana value. You may then cast that card for free, while the other exiled cards are shuffled back into your library in a random order. This mechanic adds an element of surprise and strategic depth, rewarding careful deck construction and timing. Whether you are building a competitive deck or assembling a collection of notable artifacts from Strixhaven, Codie, Vociferous Codex stands out as a powerful and versatile piece of Magic: The Gathering history.
