Scholar of the Ages

Description

Scholar of the Ages, card number 74 in the 2019 Magic: The Gathering Core Set, is a distinct blue Uncommon that appeals to players seeking consistent resource management. As a seven-mana creature, this Human Wizard serves as a resilient presence on the battlefield with a sturdy 3/3 power and toughness. Its primary value comes from its enter-the-battlefield ability, which allows you to return up to two target instant or sorcery cards from your graveyard directly to your hand. This functionality makes it a staple for decks focused on spell recursion and maintaining board control through repeated access to key removal or utility spells. Designed by artist Micah Epstein, the card captures the intellectual essence of the game’s wizardry archetype. The flavor text, "I study the past to find hope for the future," underscores the thematic role of the Scholar as a keeper of knowledge and strategic foresight. For collectors, the M20 set represents a pivotal era in Magic history, offering a clean, accessible entry point for new players while retaining depth for veterans. Completing the Core Set allows collectors to appreciate the evolution of card design and the cohesive world-building that defines Magic's foundational releases.
