Shadowmage Infiltrator — Slip Through Defenses
Shadowmage Infiltrator offers a low cost way to pressure opponents while digging for answers. At three mana and with a one three body, it slips past most defenders thanks to Fear. In practice this means it forces blockers to be artifact creatures or black creatures, which often leaves open lanes for repeated strikes. The triggered draw on combat damage turns each successful hit into card advantage and fuels both control and tempo plans.
In a Commander shell built around evasion and incremental value this Human Wizard slots into both aggressive and grindy lists. Use removal and tempo plays to clear a path and then extract card advantage from each breach. The card’s printed text is straightforward and plays clean with common rules interactions so you will not need complicated rulings to get consistent value in multiplayer games.
