Patron of the Arts

Description

The Patron of the Arts is a foil common card from the 2022 Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified as card number 191 with the set code CLB, this creature card is categorized as a Dragon Noble with a mana cost of two generic and one red mana. It possesses a mana value of three and enters the battlefield with three power and one toughness. Designed by Julia Metzger, this card brings a specific flavor to the Commander format through its unique ability. When the Patron of the Arts enters the battlefield or dies, it creates a Treasure token. This artifact token can be tapped to sacrifice it for the addition of one mana of any color, offering versatile mana acceleration for red-based decks. The card’s flavor text hints at its noble origins, noting, "It's okay. My mother owns the museum." Collectors often seek out this foil version for its visual appeal and its utility in Commander games. The Treasure token mechanic provides consistent resource generation, making it a functional addition to decks that require flexible mana sources. As part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate set, it appeals to fans of the Magic: The Gathering universe and those who enjoy collecting cards from this crossover theme. The foil finish adds a premium look to the card, distinguishing it from non-foil prints in the same set. Whether building a deck around dragon tribal strategies or simply looking to add a visually striking card to a collection, the Patron of the Arts offers both mechanical value and aesthetic charm. Its straightforward design and reliable effect make it a recognizable piece of the 2022 Commander Legends release.
