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 released in 2014 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set Khans of Tarkir. The card represents a creature belonging to the Abzan Houses, a faction characterized by their endurance and connection to the dragon spirits of their desert realm. Designed for the game's limited and constructed environments, the card serves as a representative example of the set's mechanics, which emphasized three-color themes and the synergy between creatures and battlefield toughness.
The card was illustrated by Johannes Voss, a frequent contributor to the game known for his painterly style and use of soft, atmospheric lighting. Voss designed the Highspire Mantis to reflect the aesthetic of the Abzan culture, emphasizing armored, insectoid features that blend with the sand-swept architecture of their home. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its efficient keyword abilities and its role as a solid aggressive option in draft formats during the Khans of Tarkir block.
