Flying
When this creature enters, look at target opponent's hand. You may exile a nonland card from it. For as long as that card remains exiled, its owner may play it. A spell cast this way costs 2 generic mana more to cast.

Where it came from
Elite Spellbinder was introduced in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering set Strixhaven: School of Mages. The card represents a student of the Prismari College, the university's house of elemental arts, and was designed to showcase the set's focus on casting spells and manipulating the opponent's options. Mechanically, it utilizes the 'exile' ability to temporarily remove a key card from an opponent's hand, forcing strategic decision-making in competitive play.
The artwork was created by Ryan Pancoast, a prominent fantasy illustrator known for his realistic and atmospheric style. For this piece, Pancoast aimed to capture the essence of a magical prodigy mid-cast, emphasizing the flow of energy and the scholarly, yet intense, atmosphere of Strixhaven. Upon its release, the card received significant praise from the community for its balanced power level and its utility in various formats, becoming a staple in both Standard and Pioneer decks.
