Description

Card #577 in the 2023 Commander Masters set, Yisan, the Wanderer Bard, is a Legendary Creature — Human Rogue Bard designed to bring dynamic value to your games. Created by artist Chase Stone, this card is printed in the premium Etched finish, which adds a tactile, textured quality to the surface that enhances its visual presence on the playmat. In Magic: The Gathering, this creature commands a mana cost of {2}{G} with a mana value of 3 and boasts a 2/3 power and toughness. Its primary ability allows you to activate it by paying {2}{G}, tapping the card, and placing a verse counter on it. Once activated, you can search your library for a creature card with a mana value equal to the number of verse counters on Yisan, put that creature onto the battlefield, and then shuffle your library. This mechanic makes Yisan a versatile engine that scales with repeated activations, providing consistent board presence. Collectors of Commander Masters appreciate the Etched treatment for its premium feel and distinct aesthetic compared to standard prints. As a staple in the Commander format, Yisan appeals to both players seeking strategic depth and collectors looking to complete the diverse selection of cards in this release.
