A pressure valve card is a tool given to us by the designers of Magic: The Gathering, so that we might combat oppressive strategies that emerge from each new set release, like Murders at Karlov Manor.
Sentinel of Lost Lore, from Wilds of Eldraine, is such a card - the ability to exile graveyards stops reanimation strategies, and prevents our opponent from gathering evidence on us. Pretty great!
It also has natural synergy with other cards from its own set, so we can build a deck around adventure creatures like Mosswood Dreadknight and Gumdrop Poisoner, and support them with Virtue of Persistence and a very sharp Sword of Forge and Frontier.
Is it enough to release the pressure of Standard? Let me know what you think in the comments!
