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 released in 2014 as part of the Khans of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused on the warlord-led clans of the Tarkir plane, with this card representing the Jeskai Way, a faction defined by their emphasis on martial arts, mysticism, and tactical adaptability. It was designed to showcase the three-color identity of the clan, requiring a combination of red, white, and blue mana to cast.
The card illustration was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, who depicted the rider mounted on a giant, armored mantis. The design was crafted to emphasize the creature's swift, aggressive combat capabilities, particularly through its signature keywords of flying, vigilance, and haste. Upon its release, it became a staple in competitive formats due to its high efficiency as a proactive threat, earning recognition as one of the definitive cards of its era.
