Bygone Marvels · Compendium

Descend 8 — When you cast this spell, if there are eight or more permanent cards in your graveyard, copy this spell twice. You may choose new targets for the copies. Return target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand. Exile Bygone Marvels.

Mox strategy

Bygone Marvels is a cheap, high-ceiling recursion spell for green decks that can reliably stock the graveyard. Its main strength is turning one into multiple copies, giving huge card advantage if you have descend 8 online. Best in self-mill, sacrifice, or fetch-heavy decks that naturally put permanent cards into the graveyard. It’s especially strong when you can rebuy multiple different permanents, since the copies can retarget. Key synergies include dredge/self-mill, disposable permanents, and graveyard-filling lands/artifacts/enchantments to enable descend quickly. It supports grindy recursion plans and can swing attrition games hard, but it’s weaker early if you haven’t filled the graveyard enough.
