Tivit, Seller of Secrets

Legendary Creature — Sphinx Rogue

Flying, ward {3}
Council's dilemma — Whenever Tivit enters or deals combat damage to a player, starting with you, each player votes for evidence or bribery. For each evidence vote, investigate. For each bribery vote, create a Treasure token.
While voting, you may vote an additional time. (The votes can be for different choices or for the same choice.)

Tivit, Seller of Secrets card art
Tivit, Seller of Secrets lands and immediately demands an answer — a 4/4 with ward and flying that generates clue or treasure tokens on every vote, and most vote spells let you vote more than once. The Time Sieve combo turns those artifacts into infinite turns, and even without it, Tivit pairs naturally with Kamiz, Obscura Oculus to make connive triggers free wins.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern not legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Tivit, Seller of Secrets belongs — the card is built around multiplayer voting dynamics that simply don't exist in one-on-one formats. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but sees no competitive play; a six-mana 4/4 without an immediate board impact that scales on opponent count is unplayable there. Oathbreaker is a reasonable home in theory, since the format's lower life totals and faster pace actually reward the artifact token accumulation, though Tivit will rarely be the strongest choice at that table. Treat this as a Commander card with incidental legality elsewhere.

Budget Alternatives

Cheaper options that do most of the same work

There's no direct budget replacement for Tivit, Seller of Secrets because no other card combines evasion, ward, and artifact-token generation on a voting trigger — you're really buying the whole package. Sphinx of the Second Sun and Thorough Investigation each generate clue value over time and cost under $1, but they don't interact with vote spells and won't close games through Time Sieve the way Tivit does; run them as supplements if you need more artifact production, not as substitutes.

Price Context

Current price

$7.82 mid tier

At $7.82, Tivit, Seller of Secrets sits in the mid tier — expensive enough to feel like a real acquisition, cheap enough that it's not a barrier to building around. It's a card with a dedicated combo identity and no reprint history that would suggest a price drop, so current is likely close to floor.
