About Kess, Dissident Mage

Kess, Dissident Mage, Legendary creature — human wizard, designed by Izzy first released in Nov, 2016 in the set Treasure Chest and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.68.

A Grixis control deck focused on graveyard recursion and spellcasting would benefit from including Kess, Dissident Mage as it provides a powerful advantage in reusing instant and sorcery spells. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Kess's ability to cast spells from the graveyard each turn makes her a strong choice for decks looking to maximize spell efficiency and value. Kess should definitely see play in decks that rely on instant and sorcery spells for their win conditions.

Rules

06/14/19

If a spell cast this way is put into another zone after it resolves (perhaps because it had buyback), it’s considered a new object. If that card later moves to your graveyard, it won’t be exiled.

06/14/19

If you cast one instant or sorcery card from your graveyard and then have a new Kess come under your control in the same turn, you may cast another instant or sorcery card from your graveyard that turn.

06/14/19

Once you begin to cast the card, losing control of Kess won’t affect the spell. You can finish casting it as normal and it will be exiled if it would be put into your graveyard.

06/14/19

You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions of the card you cast from your graveyard.
