The Alabaster Mage is card number 2 in the Magic 2012 core set, released in 2011. This Uncommon creature features the type line Creature — Human Wizard and costs {1}{W} to cast, resulting in a mana value of 2. With a power and toughness of 2/1, it serves as an efficient early-game option for players focusing on white mana strategies. The card’s primary ability allows you to target a creature you control to gain lifelink until end of turn.

The flavor text highlights the card's thematic connection to the Alabaster creed, emphasizing truth, honor, and the sacred powers of light and life. Artwork for this card was created by Izzy.
