Description
The Fathom Mage is a distinct Rare creature card from Magic: The Gathering's 2020 The List expansion, identified by the catalog number GK2-118. This Human Wizard brings a unique strategic layer to the game through its Evolve mechanic, which allows the card to grow stronger as the game progresses. When a creature you control enters the battlefield with greater power or toughness than the Fathom Mage, you can place a +1/+1 counter on it. This growth mechanism transforms the card from a modest 1/1 into a more formidable presence on the board. The mana cost of {2}{G}{U} reflects its dual-color identity, requiring both green and blue mana to cast. This makes it a versatile addition to decks that utilize these colors, allowing players to leverage its evolving power for card advantage.

Collectors and players alike appreciate the Fathom Mage for its clever design and strategic depth. It is a sought-after card for those who enjoy building decks around counter-based strategies. The card’s ability to grow and provide card draw makes it a valuable asset in various gameplay scenarios. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a new player, the Fathom Mage offers a compelling addition to your Magic: The Gathering collection. Its presence in The List set adds a unique flavor to the game, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts of the format.
