Description
Aethermage's Touch appears as card number 148 in the Magic: The Gathering 2017 Modern Masters set. This Rare Instant card costs four mana, consisting of two generic mana, one white mana, and one blue mana. The card's effect allows players to reveal the top four cards of their library. If a creature card is among them, the player may put that creature onto the battlefield. This creature has a triggered ability that returns it to its owner's hand at the beginning of the controller's end step. Any remaining revealed cards are placed on the bottom of the library in any order. The card is illustrated by Randy Gallegos and carries the set code MM3. This card from the Modern Masters 2017 set is a Rare Instant with the mana cost {2}{W}{U}. The card's design includes a normal layout typical of the set. The interaction between the creature's temporary presence and the library manipulation offers strategic depth. The card's color identity is blue and white, restricting its placement in decks with those specific colors. The four mana value reflects the potential impact of the card's effect. The ability to shuffle cards back into the library allows for future draws. This mechanic provides flexibility in deck building. The card remains a notable part of the Modern Masters 2017 checklist.
