Wastescape Battlemage is a flexible creature from Modern Horizons 3 that rewards timing and planning. This 2/2 Eldrazi Wizard arrives with two kicker options that shape its impact the moment it hits the stack. If you kick with the black option, you exile an artifact or enchantment an opponent controls; if you kick with the alternative, you return a target creature an opponent controls to its owner's hand. The combination lets you sculpt the battlefield while keeping your mana curve steady.
Wastescape Battlemage: Dual Edged Eldrazi
The foil Near Mint presentation adds a crisp glow to the art, while the card’s resilience matches the harsh wastelands it embodies. Legends speak of a dual edged battlemage who can pry artifacts from the field or push threats off the board, depending on how you pay its costs. In practical terms, Wastescape Battlemage offers two distinct modes within a single spell, making it a versatile pick for tempo and value oriented decks that want answers without overcommitting.
