Description
The Blade Historian, card number 165p, is a distinct promotional release from the Strixhaven: School of Mages Promos set, issued by Wizards of the Coast in 2021. As a Rare creature within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card represents a powerful ally for players seeking to control the battlefield through aggressive strategies. Illustrated by Cristi Balanescu, the card features the mana cost of {R/W}{R/W}{R/W}{R/W} and has a mana value of 4, making it a significant investment of resources that demands strategic placement. Blade Historian is classified as a Human Cleric with a power and toughness of 2/3. Its primary utility lies in its static ability: attacking creatures you control have double strike. This mechanic allows your attackers to deal damage twice during the combat phase—once in the first strike damage step and again in the regular damage step. For collectors of the Strixhaven universe, this card is highly sought after not just for its gameplay potential, but for its unique promotional status outside the standard set print runs. Owning the Blade Historian adds a layer of exclusivity to any Magic: The Gathering collection, bridging the gap between competitive utility and catalog completeness. Whether you are building a mono-white or red-white deck, this card offers versatile support for aggressive strategies, making it a valuable addition to your binder.

Attacking creatures you control have double strike.
"So you see, the reckless battle strategy of the Kathorran orcs was effective, but ultimately proved to be a double-edged sword. As did their double-edged swords."
