Magus of the Candelabra: Untap Lands with X
Magus of the Candelabra is a compact green mana engine with practical upside. Its ability, X, T: Untap X target lands, lets you reuse mana from lands you control later in the turn. The 1/2 body won't serve as a primary attacker, but the ability opens up sequences that rely on big mana. In Commander and other formats that value mana efficiency, this card becomes a reliable engine when the board state is stable. It's a good fit for green or multicolor decks that want to maximize land resources without extra copies.
Flavor text nods to Urza and Teferi, grounding the card in the plane's lore while the mechanics stay grounded in play. In practice, Magus supports big plays by letting you untap lands after you cast a spell or step into a sequence of spells, enabling additional mana for the next spell. The result is predictable, repeatable, and avoids gimmicks, a quality that makes Magus of the Candelabra a steady option in many decks within Commander: Modern Horizons 3.
