Willbender

Description

Willbender is a Human Wizard creature card identified as number 102 in the Commander 2019 expansion, designated by the set code C19. Released in 2019, this Uncommon card carries a mana cost of {1}{U} and possesses a mana value of 2. The card’s type line defines it as a Creature — Human Wizard with a power and toughness of 1/2 when turned face up, or as a 2/2 creature when cast face down via its morph ability. The card’s primary mechanical feature is its morph cost of {1}{U}. This allows a player to cast the card face-down as a 2/2 creature for a generic cost of {3}. Once on the battlefield, the controller may turn it face up at any time by paying the morph cost. This transition reveals the card’s true identity as Willbender and triggers its activated ability. When Willbender is turned face up, its ability allows the controller to change the target of a target spell or ability that has a single target. This reactive effect provides a layer of strategic flexibility, enabling players to redirect spells or abilities away from their own creatures or toward more advantageous targets. The card is designed for blue mana users, fitting into decks that utilize {U} mana symbols. Willbender is card number 102 in the Commander 2019 base checklist. The card is illustrated by Svetlin Velinov, whose artwork complements the set’s aesthetic. As an Uncommon rarity, it is a standard component of the C19 distribution, offering both gameplay utility and set completion value for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts looking to build their Commander 2019 collection.
