Soar with the Eccentric Apprentice
The Eccentric Apprentice is a nimble tiefling wizard who adds a unique twist to your Adventures in the Forgotten Realms decks. At a modest cost of {2}{U}, this 2/2 flyer not only provides evasive aerial pressure but also invites you to venture deeper into the dungeon the moment it hits the battlefield. This mechanic keeps the momentum flowing, rewarding strategic dungeon exploration that can unlock significant advantages as your game progresses.
What sets this apprentice apart is its ability to transform creatures into 1/1 flying Birds if you’ve successfully completed a dungeon by the time combat begins. This subtle mass evasion trick can turn the tide in closely contested matches, especially when paired with other dungeon-focused cards like Dungeon Crawler or Skullport Merchant. Its synergy with dungeon ventures adds a layer of tactical depth, making it a versatile pick for players who enjoy weaving intricate combos and maintaining board presence from the skies.
