Behold Stays Deciduous Rather Than Evergreen

Behold is deciduous, not evergreen, Mark Rosewater wrote in a Blogatog reply to a fan on November 2, 2026. The fan wanted it to become evergreen after its use in Tarkir: Dragonstorm and Reality Fracture. That status leaves behold available when it suits a set, rather than making it a regular fixture.

Scryfall’s set-specific search finds 6 behold cards in Tarkir: Dragonstorm, while its Reality Fracture search finds 2. Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant is a 2-mana creature that can make a Treasure when it enters if you behold a Dragon. Reality Fracture’s Theorist's Sanctum is an Island that enters tapped unless you behold a Jace. Both let you satisfy the condition with a matching permanent you control or by revealing a matching card from your hand.
