Description
Released in 2008 as part of the Eventide expansion, the Selkie Hedge-Mage (#158) stands out among Magic: The Gathering trading cards for its clever dual-land synergy and elegant foil treatment. Illustrated by Larry MacDougall, this uncommon creature card brings a distinct visual flair to any collection of Eventide cards. As a Merfolk Wizard with a mana cost of {2}{G/U}, it offers strategic depth by interacting with different land types on the battlefield. When played, the card provides versatile effects depending on your land selection. If you control two or more Forests, you may gain 3 life, offering a defensive boost. Alternatively, if you control two or more Islands, you can return a target tapped creature to its owner's hand, providing a tactical removal option. This dual nature makes the Selkie Hedge-Mage a favorite among players and collectors who appreciate versatile gameplay and set-specific design. The foil finish enhances its appeal, making it a desirable addition for those building complete Eventide collections or seeking high-quality Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards. Whether used in casual play or valued for its set representation, this card remains a notable piece of the Eventide era.
