Vodalian Mage (V.2)⁣ - Fallen Empires⁣ (Common)

Vodalian Mage is a Merfolk Wizard from the Fallen Empires set that can counter a target spell unless its controller pays {1} by tapping and spending {U}. This ability provides an effective way to disrupt your opponent's plays, especially early in the game when they may have limited resources. It fits well in control decks that aim to maintain board presence while stalling opponents' strategies. Available from Vault of Cards, a UK-based Magic: The Gathering store with fast delivery.
