About Ancestral Statue
Ancestral Statue, Artifact creature — golem, designed by Tomasz Jedruszek first released in May, 2020 in the set Dragons of Tarkir and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's a key card in 28 combos.
Ancestral Statue could be beneficial in a deck that focuses on exploiting enter-the-battlefield triggers or reusing powerful permanent abilities. Decks built around cards like Mulldrifter or Primeval Titan could find value in bouncing them back to hand with Ancestral Statue to trigger their abilities again. However, for a more competitive edge, cards like Crystal Shard or Erratic Portal offer similar effects with added versatility, making them potentially better choices for decks looking to maximize their efficiency and impact on the game. Ultimately, whether Ancestral Statue sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within a deck.
