About Soul-Scar Mage

Soul-Scar Mage, Creature — human wizard, designed by Steve Argyle first released in Apr, 2017 in the set Amonkhet Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 2.16.

Soul-Scar Mage would be a great addition to a red aggressive deck that focuses on dealing noncombat damage to creatures, such as burn or prowess decks. Its ability to turn damage into -1/-1 counters can be a powerful tool to weaken opposing creatures and control the board. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Soul-Scar Mage's low mana cost and prowess ability make it a strong contender for inclusion in decks looking to apply pressure and disrupt the opponent's board state.

Rules

18/04/17

If an effect causes a creature you control to fight a creature an opponent controls, the damage is dealt simultaneously. For instance, if your 2/2 creature fights an opponent’s 4/4 creature, your creature will be dealt 4 damage and your opponent’s creature will have two -1/-1 counters put on it.

18/04/17

Soul-Scar Mage’s effect isn’t a prevention effect. Damage that can’t be prevented will be replaced with -1/-1 counters.
