Kess, Dissident Mage

Description

Kess, Dissident Mage occupies a distinct place within the 2019 Modern Horizons expansion as a powerful multi-colored threat. As card number 206 in the set, this release is classified as a Mythic Rare, denoting its high rarity and significance within the Magic: The Gathering collectible framework. The card features a premium foil finish, adding visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile and aesthetic qualities of high-tier prints. The card itself represents a legendary Human Wizard with a mana value of four, requiring a complex mana cost of one generic mana alongside one each of blue, black, and red. This tricolor identity allows the card to enter play in decks utilizing multiple color pairs or the full five colors, offering flexibility in construction. With a power and toughness of 3/4, Kess brings both offensive capability and durability to the battlefield. Beyond her stats, the card's mechanics allow players to cast instant or sorcery spells from the graveyard once per turn. If such a spell would be put into the graveyard, it is exiled instead, providing a recurring resource engine that rewards strategic planning. This ability makes the card a focal point for decks looking to leverage graveyard synergy without relying on traditional recursion. Collectors often seek this foil version for its visual impact and the strategic depth it represents in the game's history. The foil treatment ensures that the card catches the light, making it a standout piece for any binder or display case.
