Academic Probation

Description

Academic Probation is a distinct Sorcery — Lesson card released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages Promos set. Identifiable by its 7s card number and PSTX set code, this foil print offers collectors a tangible piece of the Magic: The Gathering universe's academic lore. The card's design showcases the artistic vision of Cristi Balanescu, capturing the magical aesthetic central to the Strixhaven expansion. Functionally, Academic Probation provides players with strategic flexibility during gameplay. With a mana cost of {1}{W} and a mana value of 2, it serves as an efficient white sorcery. Its lesson mechanic allows the caster to choose between two powerful effects: either preventing opponents from casting spells with a selected nonland card name until the next turn, or stopping a target nonland permanent from attacking, blocking, or activating abilities until the next turn. This dual utility makes it a versatile tool for controlling the board state. For collectors, the foil finish adds significant visual appeal, distinguishing this promo card from its nonfoil counterparts. As a rare card within the Strixhaven: School of Mages Promos series, it holds appeal for those building specialized collections or seeking to complete the broader set. Whether you are a seasoned player interested in its strategic depth or a casual fan drawn to its magical theme, Academic Probation represents a unique entry in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game catalog. By focusing on authentic Magic: The Gathering cards, we ensure that collectors can find and acquire items that meet their standards for quality and completeness. This promo card stands out not just for its gameplay mechanics but also for its status as a sought-after artifact from one of Wizards of the Coast's most beloved expansions.
