## Description

Etherium-Horn Sorcerer is a Rare card from the 2016 Commander 2016 expansion of Magic: The Gathering. Carrying card number 197 and the set code C16, this artifact creature features the types Minotaur, Wizard, and Sorcerer. The card has a mana cost of {4}{U}{R} and a mana value of 6, with a power and toughness of 3/6. The card includes a unique ability that allows you to pay {1}{U}{R} to return it to its owner's hand. It also possesses the Cascade ability, which triggers when you cast the spell. When Cascade activates, you exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less to cast. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost, and the exiled cards are placed on the bottom of your library in a random order. This mechanic provides strategic value by potentially reducing the overall mana investment for powerful spells.

The design and mechanics reflect the innovative directions taken in that year's release. Completing a set of Commander 2016 singles often involves acquiring cards like Etherium-Horn Sorcerer.

Whether used for casual play or competitive construction, the card offers distinct gameplay options.
