What it does
Flying, trample
Its wings produce a high-pitched, barely audible whirring sound in flight. Only Jeskai masters are quiet enough to hear one coming.

Where it came from
Highspire Mantis was originally introduced in the 2014 Magic: The Gathering expansion Khans of Tarkir. As a member of the Abzan Houses, the card reflects the set's focus on the wedge-color identity of white, black, and green, emphasizing toughness and resilience. Designed as a common rarity creature, it served as a functional limited-play staple, providing a solid aerial threat with the keyword vigilance to help players navigate the complex battlefield dynamics of the Tarkir plane.
The artwork for the card was illustrated by Johannes Voss, whose work is celebrated for its ethereal and polished aesthetic. In depicting the insectoid predator of the high spires, Voss sought to capture a blend of naturalistic ferocity and the distinctive armor-clad aesthetic of the Abzan faction. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a rotating collection of legacy cards randomly inserted into modern booster packs—speaks to its enduring utility as a design that highlights the evolution of creature combat mechanics within the game's history.
