Imperial Cosmographer

Description

Represented by card number 624, this Uncommon rarity card features the design work of artist Nino Is, bringing the Marvel universe into the strategic framework of the trading card game. The card depicts a Kree Scientist, a creature type that blends the sci-fi lore of the Supreme Intelligence with the mechanical depth of the Kree Empire. Imperial Cosmographer enters the battlefield with a mana cost of two generic mana and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of three. As a 2/3 creature, it provides a solid defensive presence on the board. Its primary utility comes from the Vigilance keyword, which ensures it can attack without tapping, maintaining its ability to block incoming threats. This dual-role capability makes it a flexible piece for decks aiming to control the board state while applying pressure. The card’s most notable ability triggers whenever another creature you control leaves the battlefield without dying. When this event occurs, you place two +1/+1 counters on Imperial Cosmographer. This mechanic rewards players for managing their board state efficiently, allowing the card to grow significantly in size and power over the course of a game. The flavor text, "The Supreme Intelligence guides our empire. It requires a constant infusion of knowledge," underscores the character's role within the Kree hierarchy. Collectors and players value this card for its integration into the Commander format, where its counter-building potential can lead to powerful late-game scenarios. Whether you are building a blue-centric strategy or looking to expand your Marvel Super Heroes collection, Imperial Cosmographer offers a compelling blend of lore and mechanics. The card’s clean design and clear rules text make it an accessible yet strategic addition to any Magic: The Gathering library.
