The Merfolk Mesmerist is a Magic: The Gathering card numbered 66 in the Magic 2012 (M12) core set released in 2011. Classified as a Common rarity, this card features the artwork by Jana Schirmer and Johannes Voss. It is a blue Creature with the subtypes Merfolk and Wizard, possessing a mana value of 2 and a power/toughness of 1/2.
