About Startled Relic Sloth
Startled Relic Sloth, Creature — sloth beast, designed by David Astruga first released in Apr, 2026 in the set Secrets of Strixhaven.
Startled Relic Sloth would fit best in a Boros (red-white) midrange or aggressive deck that wants efficient combat keywords and incidental graveyard hate without dedicating sideboard slots to it; trample and lifelink make it strong in creature mirrors and racing situations, while the repeatable exile effect gives steady value against flashback, reanimator, or delve strategies. However, it would likely compete with more efficient or higher-impact four-drops and graveyard hate options—cards like **Lion Sash** (more flexible, scalable graveyard hate), **Skyclave Apparition** (stronger immediate board impact), or even sideboard staples like **Remorseful Cleric** offer more focused disruption or tempo. Unless the Sloth has very strong stats for its cost, it would probably be a solid but not format-defining role-player, most likely seeing play in casual or slower midrange metas rather than high-level competitive formats.
