The Scholar of the Ages (#74) from Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 is a blue Uncommon creature that serves as a functional wizard for collectors of the M20 set. As a Human Wizard with a mana cost of {5}{U}{U} and a mana value of 7, this card demands careful mana management but rewards players with significant card advantage. When Scholar of the Ages enters the battlefield, it allows the controller to return up to two target instant or sorcery cards from their graveyard directly to their hand. This effect provides a reliable method for recycling previously cast spells, helping to stabilize board positions or fuel strategies that rely on spell density. The card is printed with a foil finish, adding visual distinction to its uncommon rarity status within the set. Artist Micah Epstein provides the illustration for this release, which features flavor text highlighting the character's scholarly dedication. The card's number 74 placement in the Core Set 2020 checklist identifies it as part of the base set. This Magic: The Gathering card features the Scholar of the Ages, a Human Wizard creature with a mana cost of {5}{U}{U}. Owning the foil version of Scholar of the Ages adds a premium touch to any Magic: The Gathering collection, particularly for those focused on the blue color identity.
