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 introduced as part of the Khans of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released in September 2014. The set centered on the warring clans of a plane inspired by Central Asian history and the Silk Road, with this card belonging to the Naya-aligned Mardu Horde. It was designed as an uncommon creature intended to bolster the aggressive red-white-black faction identity during the Limited draft environment.
The card was illustrated by Igor Kieryluk, a digital artist known for his dynamic character work within the game. Kieryluk depicted the creature as a towering, insectoid mount integrated into the brutal aesthetic of the Mardu. Upon release, the card was recognized by players for its efficiency as a aggressive threat, specifically noting its keyword abilities that allowed it to exert pressure on an opponent early in a game.
