Description

As a Legendary Human Wizard, this card commands a mana value of five, requiring one white, one blue, one black, one red, and one green mana source to cast. This rare combination places it among the most visually striking and mechanically intricate creatures in the game's history. Designed by Micah Epstein, the card features a power and toughness of 5/5, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield that demands strategic consideration from opponents.
