# Conservator (Limited Edition Beta) Conservator represents an interesting artifact-focused design from Magic's earliest era. Collectors value Beta uncommons for their historical significance as part of the game's foundational release, and Conservator fits that appeal despite modest gameplay impact. The card's mechanical simplicity—protecting artifacts from destruction—reflects how designers approached utility in 1993. Beta uncommons occupy a middle ground in collector priorities. They're more accessible than rare counterparts but still carry the prestige of Limited Edition Beta's restricted print run. Conservator's nonfoil status is standard for the set, as foiling didn't exist until much later. Collectors typically pursue Beta uncommons either as set-completion projects or for their nostalgic connection to Magic's origins, rather than for individual card demand.
