Oriq Loremage

Creature — Human Warlock2 generic manaBlack manaBlack mana

A tutor stapled to a body, which is a rarer combination than it sounds, because most search effects sit on spells or noncreature permanents where the card advantage is one-shot. Here the fetch is a repeatable activation, and the destination is the graveyard rather than the hand, which reframes the card entirely: this is not a way to find your best card, it is a way to fill a yard on demand and put whatever you want where recursion, delve, escape, flashback, and reanimation can reach it. The instant-or-sorcery clause bolts a Warlock-flavored reward onto the same tap: pull a spell and the body grows, so a graveyard-spells shell turns the engine into an accumulating threat while it assembles its pieces. The catch is that the search puts the card into the graveyard, not into play or your hand, so it does nothing for you the turn it lands unless you already have the outlet built; a naked activation just discards a card from your library face-up. That dependency is the whole design contract: the payoff scales with how much of your deck wants to operate from the yard, and it flatlines in any list that lets its graveyard sit inert. What it offers is a repeatable, tap-to-tutor engine with a self-growing wrinkle, the kind of enabler that only earns its slot in a deck built to mine its own graveyard rather than treat it as an afterthought of dying.
