Treasure

Treasure is an artifact type introduced in the Ixalan block. It appears exclusively on tokens.

Description
Like Gold tokens previously, these Treasure artifact tokens have the ability to be sacrificed for mana. Unlike Gold, these artifact tokens must also be tapped. Red and Green was slated to have more access to treasures than other colors. In practice, Blue and Black follows Red in usage, with White getting its first treasure maker in Smothering Tithe and finally Green's first being Fae Offering outside of Standard, or Prosperous Innkeeper for Standard-legal.

History
Gold tokens had been considered for the Ixalan block but proved problematic with the improvise mechanic from Aether Revolt in the Standard environment, so R&D had to add a tap and change the token's name.

There are four versions of the printed Treasure token in the Ixalan block, each with art of a chest that contains valuables from one of the four factions.

Treasure tokens reappeared in Ravnica Allegiance (Smothering Tithe), and are now considered deciduous.

With the release of Core Set 2020 the Treasure became a predefined Token. As a consequence, the description of what a treasure token does now appears in the reminder text, instead of in the rules text. Older treasure token cards were errataed.

In Strixhaven: School of Mages, treasure represents artistic creations of the Prismari, the physical manifestation of their magic.
