Careful Study: One Mana, Infinite Possibilities
For just a single blue mana, Careful Study gives you incredible card filtering at sorcery speed—a staple that has shaped Legacy, Pauper, and casual formats for over two decades.
Drawing two and discarding two isn’t card advantage—it’s card selection with a graveyard bonus. This makes Careful Study the perfect enabler for reanimator strategies, flashback spells, and madness synergies. Dropping a massive creature into your graveyard on turn one while digging for your reanimation spell is a tempo play that wins games. The Secret Lair Ghostbusters crossover version featuring Egon Spengler’s iconic quote adds serious collector appeal to an already powerful card at nearly nine dollars.
Have you slotted Careful Study into your graveyard deck, or do you prefer Faithless Looting in red?
