Lorehold Pledgemage

Description

The Lorehold Pledgemage is a distinct creature from the 2021 Magic: The Gathering Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion. As a Common card numbered 201, it belongs to the Lorehold faction, representing the school of history and antiquity within the academic setting of the set. This print is a Foil variant, offering collectors a shimmering finish that enhances its visual appeal while maintaining the standard card dimensions and layout typical of the STX release. Designed by Jake Murray, this card depicts a Kor Shaman with a mana cost of {1}{R/W}{R/W} and a mana value of 3. The card type is listed as Creature — Kor Shaman, with power and toughness of 2/2. Its gameplay identity revolves around the Magecraft mechanic, which triggers whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell. During those moments, the creature gains +1/+0 until the end of the turn, allowing it to deal damage early in the game or survive combat more effectively. This synergy makes the card a functional piece for players building decks that rely on spell-heavy strategies. The Foil finish of this card adds a layer of desirability beyond the non-foil version, appealing to those who build collections based on rarity treatments. Whether you are completing the Strixhaven checklist, hunting for specific faction cards, or simply appreciate the intricate details of modern Magic card design, this Lorehold Pledgemage foil represents a solid entry point for enthusiasts of the 2021 era. It serves as a tangible piece of the franchise's history, bridging the gap between competitive gameplay and aesthetic appreciation.
