Trusted Forcemage

Description

Trusted Forcemage is a green common creature card from the Avacyn Restored expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2012. Identified by card number 199 and set code AVR, this card belongs to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It represents a Human Shaman with a mana cost of two generic and one green mana, resulting in a mana value of three. The creature enters the battlefield with a power and toughness of 2/2, making it a modest but flexible unit for early-game strategies. The defining feature of Trusted Forcemage is its Soulbond ability. This mechanic allows the card to pair with another unpaired creature when it enters the battlefield. As long as you control both creatures, they remain paired and each receives a +1/+1 bonus to their power and toughness. This interaction encourages players to build synergistic pairs, enhancing the survivability and offensive capability of their board presence. The card’s design supports strategic deck building, appealing to collectors and players who enjoy interactive creature mechanics. Art for this card was created by Cynthia Sheppard, contributing to the visual identity of the Avacyn Restored set. Collectors often seek out specific cards like Trusted Forcemage to complete their collection or to study the design evolution of Magic: The Gathering during the early 2010s. The card’s straightforward mechanics and green color identity make it a recognizable piece for fans of the game’s creature-focused archetypes. Whether used in gameplay or collected for its set completeness, this card remains a staple reference for Avacyn Restored enthusiasts.
