Oracle Text

−10: Exchange your hand and library, then shuffle. You get an emblem with "You have no maximum hand size."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Mordenkainen is a quintessential control-value planeswalker, turning card quantity into both defense and inevitability. In Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, the archmage feels less like a battlefield brawler and more like a master strategist: his +2 smooths draws and digs for answers, while the loot-like effect lets you tuck excess lands or situational spells away. The −2 is where he stabilizes the board, since the blue Dog Illusion scales with your hand size and can quickly become a massive blocker or a credible clock in slower games. He fits especially well in draw-heavy control shells, where cantrips and instant-speed interaction keep your hand stocked; pairing him with cards that reward large hands, such as various “no maximum hand size” effects or card draw engines, makes his token much stronger. If you can protect him for long enough, the ultimate converts all that accumulated card advantage into a near-lock on resources.
