Sage of the Inward Eye

Description

The Sage of the Inward Eye, card number 195 from the 2014 Khans of Tarkir Promos set, stands as a distinct addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. As a five-mana Creature — Djinn Wizard, this card commands attention with its multicolored identity spanning red, blue, and white. Designed by Anastasia Ovchinnikova, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that collectors appreciate when building their library. For players, the Sage offers a strategic advantage that complements spells rather than creatures. Its primary ability triggers whenever you cast a noncreature spell, granting lifelink to your creatures until the end of the turn. This synergy makes it a valuable tool for control and combo decks that rely on spell density to protect their board state. The card’s flying ability further enhances its survivability, allowing it to pressure opponents while staying out of reach of ground-based removal. Collectors often seek this promo card for its rarity and the unique flavor text that hints at the lore surrounding the lotus. The phrase "No one petal claims beauty for the lotus" adds a poetic touch to the card, reflecting the intricate world-building that defines the Tarkir block. Whether you are completing a specific set or looking to expand your roster of powerful Djinn, this card represents a key piece of the Khans of Tarkir era. By focusing on the identity and mechanics of cards like the Sage of the Inward Eye, we help enthusiasts build collections that reflect both strategic depth and aesthetic value. This promo card remains a testament to the creative designs and gameplay innovations that have kept Magic: The Gathering relevant for decades.
