Description
Wastescape Battlemage is a Creature — Eldrazi Wizard released in 2024 as card number 17 in the Modern Horizons 3 set. Designed by Paolo Parente, this Uncommon card brings a unique mechanical identity to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, blending the expansive, cosmic horror of the Eldrazi subtype with the strategic precision of a Wizard. The card’s versatility stems from its kicker costs. Players may choose to pay an additional {G} mana, an additional {1}{U} mana, or both when casting the spell. If the green kicker is paid, the Battlemage can exile a target artifact or enchantment controlled by an opponent. If the blue kicker is paid, it returns a target creature controlled by an opponent to its owner's hand. This flexibility makes it a compelling piece for decks looking for targeted removal without committing to a single effect. For those building a Modern Horizons 3 collection, this card represents a key component of the set's innovative design philosophy. As part of the Modern Horizons 3 lineup, Wastescape Battlemage offers a fresh take on classic creature types. Its mana value of 2 and color identity of Green and Blue allow it to fit into a variety of archetypes that value early-game interaction. The card’s design and mechanics make it a favorite for collectors who enjoy the intersection of flavor and function in trading card games.
