Radagast, Wizard of Wilds

Description

Radagast, Wizard of Wilds stands as a distinct Legendary Creature — Avatar Wizard within the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset. Identified as card number 66 in the Tales of Middle-earth (LTC) set, this card brings a specific strategic identity to the tabletop experience through its green and blue mana configuration. The card requires a mana cost of {2}{G}{U} to cast, establishing it as a four-mana threat that balances resource investment with immediate board presence. The design of this Magic: The Gathering card centers on protection and expansion. Radagast possesses a ward ability costing {1}, which helps defend the creature from removal spells. Furthermore, this protective effect extends to other creatures on the battlefield; any Beasts and Birds you control also gain ward {1}, allowing for broader board resilience. This synergy makes the card particularly appealing to players who build decks focused on animal-themed strategies within the Commander format. Beyond its defensive capabilities, Radagast offers significant value generation when casting high-cost spells. Whenever a spell with a mana value of 5 or greater is cast, the controller chooses between creating a 3/3 green Beast creature token or a 2/2 blue Bird creature token with flying. This dual-option mechanic allows for flexible resource management, enabling players to adapt their strategy based on whether they need ground presence or aerial mobility. The artwork for this release was created by Tomas Duchek, contributing to the visual narrative of the Middle-earth universe within the trading card game. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from the Tales of Middle-earth subset for their thematic depth and unique gameplay interactions. Radagast, Wizard of Wilds represents a solid addition to any collection of legendary creatures, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional utility. Whether you are building a thematic deck or expanding your library of rare cards, this product provides a tangible connection to the rich lore of the fantasy world.
