Lost Legacy
Sorcery
Choose a nonartifact, nonland card name. Search target player's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. That player shuffles, then draws a card for each card exiled from their hand this way.

Lost Legacy strips every copy of a named nonartifact, nonland card from your opponent's hand, graveyard, and library — then replaces itself with draws equal to what they lost. Three mana to permanently excise a combo piece or win condition is strong, but the restriction to nonartifact, nonland targets is a real ceiling.

In Commander, Lost Legacy earns a slot as targeted hate against a known combo piece — naming Thassa's Oracle, Isochron Scepter, or whatever engine is driving the table's scariest deck is a clean three-mana answer that also cantrips. The card draw rider softens the tempo loss considerably, which separates it from harder-to-justify one-for-ones. In Modern and Pioneer it sees fringe sideboard play against linear combo decks, though Surgical Extraction and Extirpate do the same job at instant speed for less mana, so Lost Legacy rarely makes the cut in those formats. Legacy and Vintage have faster, cheaper disruption at every turn, leaving it essentially unplayed there despite being legal.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Lost Legacy is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or out of a dollar bin. Demand is too narrow and supply too wide for the price to move meaningfully in either direction.
