# Auriok Champion Auriok Champion is a cornerstone creature in multiple Magic formats, particularly Modern and Legacy. Collectors value it primarily for competitive playability rather than scarcity. The card's protection abilities and life gain make it a staple in white-based strategies, driving consistent demand. This List printing represents a reprint of an older card, making it more accessible than original printings from Fifth Dawn. Collectors typically distinguish between early printings and later versions, with original foils commanding premiums. The nonfoil List version serves practical players seeking affordable copies rather than collectors pursuing rare variants. Its format relevance keeps it relevant in the secondary market despite multiple printings.
