Description
The Thornscape Battlemage holds a distinct place in the 2006 Magic: The Gathering Time Spiral expansion as part of the Timeshifted subset. This foil special version, designated as card number 87 in the TSB set code, captures the creative vision of artist Matt Cavotta. As a Creature — Elf Wizard, the card utilizes a mana cost of {2}{G} to enter the battlefield, offering strategic flexibility through its kicker mechanics. Collectors appreciate this card for its dual-color identity, allowing players to pay an additional {R} or {W} to unlock powerful effects. When kicked with red mana, the battlemage deals damage to any target, while a white kicker allows for the destruction of an artifact. This versatility makes it a valuable piece for enthusiasts looking to complete the Timeshifted subset or build thematic decks. The foil treatment enhances the visual appeal, making it a standout item for any Magic: The Gathering collection focused on the late 2000s period.
