Description
Eyes in the Skies occupies the number 5 slot in the Modern Masters 2017 expansion, serving as a functional staple for white mana strategies in Magic: The Gathering. As a Common rarity card with a foil finish, it offers collectors a visually distinct addition to their library without the premium pricing often associated with higher-tier rarities. The card’s design by artist James Ryman complements its utility, making it a popular choice for those seeking to build complete sets or add shine to their deck boxes. From a gameplay perspective, this Instant card requires four mana to cast, combining three generic mana and one white mana. Its primary effect allows the controller to create a 1/1 white Bird creature token with the flying ability, followed immediately by populating, which creates a copy of that Bird token. This dual-token generation makes it a reliable tool for establishing board presence or fueling token-based synergies in various formats. The flavor text, attributed to Zunak, a Selesnya strategist, adds narrative depth, hinting at the strategic value of aerial support in the game's lore. Collectors often seek out this print for its accessibility and aesthetic appeal. The foil treatment catches the light, enhancing the card's presence in a collection or deck. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to round out your Modern Masters 2017 binder or a new enthusiast interested in white-aligned token strategies, Eyes in the Skies represents a solid entry point. The combination of its straightforward mechanics, iconic art, and foil finish makes it a enduring piece of the Modern Masters legacy.
