Master of Arms

Description

The Master of Arms, numbered 20 in the Weatherlight expansion, is a white mana Human Soldier creature from the 1997 Magic: The Gathering trading card game. With a mana cost of {2}{W} and a power/toughness of 2/2, this card provides versatile tactical options for players building their decks. The card features the distinctive art style of Dan Frazier, contributing to the visual identity of the Weatherlight era. In gameplay, Master of Arms offers two key abilities: first strike, allowing it to deal combat damage before other creatures, and a tap ability that forces a blocking creature to stop blocking. These mechanics make it a solid choice for controlling the battlefield. Collectors often seek out cards from the Weatherlight set due to its pivotal role in Magic's history and its thematic connection to the Skyship Weatherlight. As an Uncommon rarity, this card is accessible for set completionists while maintaining nostalgic value for long-time players. Whether you are adding to your Commander library or completing your Weatherlight collection, the Master of Arms remains a staple of early Magic design.
