Wizard Mentor bounces a creature you control back to your hand — an effect you run specifically to abuse enter-the-battlefield triggers or to loop with permanents like Wormfang Manta for extra turn combos. The cost is three mana for a 2/2 body with a tap ability, which is slow enough that it only earns a slot when the payoff is explicit.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Wizard Mentor is a Commander card almost exclusively — the format's singleton structure and long games give it room to find the specific loop partners it needs. In Pauper it's legal but unplayed; common-legal blink and flicker effects are strictly more efficient. Legacy and Vintage have it legal on paper, but no competitive shell wants a three-mana 2/2 tap ability when faster interaction exists at every turn. Stick to Commander if Wizard Mentor is in your plans.

Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Wizard Mentor is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a commons box without thinking twice. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is plentiful, so don't expect movement in either direction.
