Manifestation Sage

Description

This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card is a rare foil creature with a mana cost of four generic mana and two of either green or blue mana. As a Human Wizard with the subtype Human Wizard, the card features a power and toughness of 2/2 and possesses a mana value of 4. The dual-color identity allows for flexible deck building within green and blue mana bases. The primary appeal of the Manifestation Sage lies in its unique triggered ability. When this creature enters the battlefield, it creates a 0/0 green and blue Fractal creature token. The player then places X +1/+1 counters on that token, where X represents the total number of cards currently held in their hand. This mechanic makes the card particularly interesting for collectors who appreciate designs that reward strategic hand management and resource accumulation. The flavor text accompanying the card hints at the Quandrix college's approach to metaphysics, suggesting a theme of learned rules and creative rule-breaking. Collectors of the Strixhaven School of Mages Promos series often seek out the foil finish for its distinct visual presentation and rarity tier. The card's design by artist Darren Tan contributes to its visual identity within the broader set. As a promo card, it holds a specific place in the collectible landscape, distinct from standard set releases. For those building collections around the Strixhaven era, the Manifestation Sage foil offers a tangible connection to this chapter of the game's history. Its combination of moderate mana cost, scalable power, and foil treatment makes it a notable entry for enthusiasts of the format and the set alike.
