Interdisciplinary Mascot

Description

Interdisciplinary Mascot (MOM 326) is a high-value Rare creature from the 2023 March of the Machine expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Mathias Kollros, this blue Elemental Fractal commands a mana cost of six generic and two blue mana, resulting in a mana value of eight. With a power and toughness of 5/5, it serves as a resilient presence on the battlefield for collectors and players alike. The card’s design leverages the Convoke mechanic, allowing players to tap their existing creatures to reduce the casting cost by one generic mana or pay for one mana of that creature’s color. This interaction encourages strategic board development and synergizes with decks that benefit from having multiple creatures in play. Additionally, Interdisciplinary Mascot features Ward {3}, a defensive ability that requires an opponent to pay three mana to target it with a spell or ability, providing a layer of protection during gameplay. Upon entering the battlefield, the card’s triggered ability allows the controller to look at the top four cards of their library. The player may then put one of those cards into their hand while placing the remaining three on the bottom of their library in a random order. This draw engine offers card advantage and flexibility, making it a notable inclusion for those interested in the strategic depth of the March of the Machine set. As a key piece of the MOM series, Interdisciplinary Mascot represents the intricate design philosophy of modern Magic: The Gathering collectibles.
