What it does
Flying, vigilance, haste
Mantis riders know their mounts owe them no allegiance. Even a mantis ridden for years would consume a rider who loses focus for only a moment.

Where it came from
Mantis Rider was first introduced in the 2014 expansion Khans of Tarkir, designed to showcase the aggressive, three-color synergy of the Jeskai Way faction. It quickly established itself as a staple in competitive Magic: The Gathering formats due to its efficient mana cost, evasion through flying, and the versatility granted by vigilance and haste. The card represents the martial prowess of the monks of Tarkir, reflecting a design philosophy focused on high-pressure, tempo-oriented gameplay.
The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Johann Bodin, who aimed to capture the swift, aerial combat style characteristic of the Jeskai clan. Featuring a warrior mounted on a giant mantis, the visual design emphasizes speed and precision. Upon its release, the card was widely praised by players for its balance and power, becoming an iconic centerpiece for mid-range and aggressive decks that sought to capitalize on early-game board presence.
