Jeskai Sage

Jeskai Sage was originally released in the 2015 Magic: The Gathering expansion Fate Reforged. Set within the Tarkir block, the card represents a member of the Jeskai Way, a monastic order characterized by their focus on martial arts, mysticism, and tactical cunning. Mechanically, the card features the Prowess keyword, a hallmark of the Jeskai identity that rewards players for weaving non-creature spells into their combat strategies.

The card features artwork by Johannes Voss, who rendered the sage with a sense of fluid movement and scholarly focus consistent with the faction's aesthetic. Its inclusion in The List—a curated selection of reprints inserted into Set Boosters—serves to reintroduce classic or thematic cards to newer players. The design intent reflects the broader narrative of the plane of Tarkir, where the past and present collide, and the card remains a modest but effective example of the block's emphasis on spell-synergy.
