Izzet Staticaster

Description

The Izzet Staticaster is a distinct creature card from the 2012 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Return to Ravnica. Classified as an Uncommon rarity with the set code RTR, this foil version of card number 173 represents a specific snapshot of the game's design during that era. The card features artwork by Scott M. Fischer, adding visual appeal that complements its mechanical utility for collectors and players alike. Mechanically, Izzet Staticaster is a Human Wizard with a mana cost of three, requiring one generic mana, one blue mana, and one red mana. Its type line identifies it as a creature with the subtypes Human and Wizard. With a power and toughness of 0/3, it relies on its activated ability to contribute to the board state. The card possesses the Flash keyword, allowing it to be cast at instant speed, and Haste, enabling it to attack or use abilities immediately upon entering the battlefield. The card's primary ability allows the controller to tap it to deal one damage to a target creature and each other creature sharing that creature's name. This mechanic provides a targeted removal option that scales in impact based on the opponent's board presence. The foil treatment adds a layer of desirability for those building specialized collections or seeking high-quality examples of uncommon creatures. Whether used in casual games or collected for the artwork and mechanics, this card remains a recognizable piece of the 2012 release cycle. The detailed card data, including its specific mana value and color identity, helps collectors verify the exact version they are acquiring. As part of the broader Return to Ravnica set, this card represents the intricate world-building and mechanical diversity that defined that year's release.
