What it does

Job select

Equipped creature gets +0/+2, is a Wizard in addition to its other types, and has "Whenever this creature attacks, exile up to one target instant or sorcery card from defending player's graveyard. If you do, copy it. You may cast the copy by paying 3 rather than paying its mana cost."

Rulings

8 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-06-06

    If you cast a spell by paying 3 rather than paying its mana cost, you can't choose to cast it for any other alternative cost. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the card.

  • 2025-06-06

    If the Hero token is destroyed, the Equipment stays on the battlefield.

  • 2025-06-06

    If the spell has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it by paying 3 rather than paying its mana cost.

  • 2025-06-06

    If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are performed.

  • 2025-06-06

    The Hero token enters as a 1/1 creature, then the Equipment becomes attached to it. Abilities that trigger when a creature enters the battlefield see that a 1/1 creature entered the battlefield.

  • 2025-06-06

    If the job select ability causes two Hero tokens to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), the Equipment becomes attached to only one of them.

  • 2025-06-06

    You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.

  • 2025-06-06

    You may pay the Equipment's equip cost as normal to move it from the Hero token to another creature you control.

Every version of Blue Mage's Cane

2 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Blue Mage's Cane. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
