Arcane Proxy

Description

Released in 2022 as part of the Magic: The Gathering: The Brothers' War expansion, Arcane Proxy is a Mythic Rare Artifact Creature — Wizard identified by card number 319. Designed by Kekai Kotaki, this card introduces the Prototype mechanic, offering players strategic flexibility in how they cast the spell. The card's mana cost is {7}, resulting in a mana value of 7, and it belongs to the blue color identity. The Prototype ability allows you to cast this spell with an alternative mana cost of {1}{U}{U}, changing its power and toughness to 2/1. Regardless of the cost used, the card retains its types and abilities. This flexibility makes it a versatile addition to blue artifact decks, allowing players to adjust their board presence based on the game state. When Arcane Proxy enters the battlefield, if you cast it using the Prototype cost, you can exile an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard with a mana value less than or equal to its power. You then copy that card and may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. This effect provides significant value by recycling spells from the graveyard. Arcane Proxy stands out within the set as a high-rarity card that embodies the strategic depth of the Prototype mechanic. Its design and gameplay potential make it a sought-after piece for collectors who value complex card interactions and unique creature types. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your collection of rare artifacts, this card represents a key component of the Brothers' War experience. The Brothers' War remains a pivotal set for fans of the game, and Arcane Proxy is a testament to the innovative card designs that define this era.
