Description
The Steamcore Scholar is a distinct three-mana creature from Magic: The Gathering's 2024 Murders at Karlov Manor expansion. Carrying the card number 397, this foil edition features the unique Weird Detective subtype, blending magical elements with investigative themes characteristic of the set's design. Created by artist David Astruga, the card presents a striking visual for fans of the franchise. In terms of gameplay, the Steamcore Scholar brings both Flying and Vigilance to the battlefield. Its primary ability triggers upon entering play, allowing you to draw two cards while forcing a discard of two cards unless you sacrifice an instant, sorcery, or a creature with Flying. This risk-reward mechanic makes it a compelling addition to blue-based decks. Collectors value this foil variant for its shimmering finish and its role within the Murders at Karlov Manor narrative.
