Illustrious Historian

Description

The Illustrious Historian foil card, designated as number 109 in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion, offers collectors a distinct piece of the Lorehold faculty roster. As a Common creature with the Human Shaman subtype, this card represents the academic and mystical themes central to the Strixhaven setting. The foil finish provides a shimmering visual appeal that enhances its presence on the playmat or in a collector's binder. Designed by artist Brian Valeza, this card features a mana cost of {1}{R} and a power/toughness of 2/1. Its primary ability allows players to exile it from their graveyard to create a tapped 3/2 red and white Spirit creature token, making it a functional piece for strategies focused on graveyard synergy and token generation. Collectors often seek this parallel for its aesthetic contrast against the set's standard borders. Whether you are building a complete set of Strixhaven cards or focusing on Red mana creatures, the Illustrious Historian foil stands out as a notable entry.
