Nullmage Advocate

The Nullmage Advocate was printed as part of the Planechase 2012 expansion, a multiplayer-focused set released by Wizards of the Coast to expand upon the planar travel mechanics of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. It was originally featured in the Chaos Reigns deck, a product designed to showcase the unpredictable nature of the game’s plane-shifting variants. The card itself serves as a tool for political gameplay, allowing players to manipulate the graveyard while interacting with multiple opponents simultaneously.

The artwork was created by illustrator Matt Cavotta, who utilized a distinct, evocative style common to the mid-2000s era of the game. The visual design focuses on the eerie, ethereal aesthetic of the Nullmage, capturing the sense of forbidden knowledge and necromantic utility central to the card's theme. Upon its release, it was regarded by players as a niche but functional utility card, valued primarily for its repeatable ability to remove problematic enchantments or artifacts in a multiplayer environment.
