Mysidian Elder
Oracle Text
When this creature enters, create a 0/1 black Wizard creature token with "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this token deals 1 damage to each opponent."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Mysidian Elder fits neatly into a spells-matter value plan, especially in red decks that want to chip away while developing board presence. At three mana, a 1/3 body blocks early attackers well, and the enter-the-battlefield token gives immediate upside: a 0/1 black Wizard that punishes every noncreature spell by pinging each opponent. In practice, that means cheap cantrips, burn, combat tricks, and artifact or enchantment interaction all turn into incremental reach, making the card solid in tempo or control shells that naturally chain multiple spells per turn. It also plays nicely with cards that copy or recur spells, since each cast stacks more damage triggers. Deckbuilding-wise, prioritize a low curve and a high density of instants and sorceries so the token matters quickly; even modest spell volume can turn this common into a reliable source of inevitability. The Mysidian flavor feels like a learned mage mentoring an apprentice, and the card rewards careful, disciplined spellcasting rather than brute force.
