Student of Warfare

Description

Student of Warfare, identified by card number ROE-47, is a distinctive creature from Magic: The Gathering's 2021 The List set. As a one-mana Human Knight, it serves as an efficient early-game presence for players seeking value. The card features the unique leveler mechanic, allowing it to grow in power and toughness as the game progresses. By paying one white mana during your main phase, you can place a level counter on this creature, transforming it from a modest 1/1 into a formidable threat.

Whether you are a casual player or a dedicated collector, understanding the card's role in the broader Magic ecosystem enhances the appreciation of its design. The leveler mechanic remains a fan-favorite innovation, and Student of Warfare exemplifies this design philosophy perfectly.
