Patagia Golem from Mirage - A Magic the Gathering Card Review

by ElspethFTW, Old School Duelist

Patagia Golem is an Artifact creature first printed in Mirage. It was later reprinted in Sixth Edition, as well as with new art in Seventh Edition and in a modern border with Eighth Edition. The Golem is a 2/3 creature with a converted mana cost of 4 colorless mana. It has an ability for 3 colorless mana to gain flying until end of turn.

While it was certainly a decent Limited card for its evasion ability, it’s a bit too mana intensive to be good outside of draft or sealed deck play. It’s one of those under-powered artifact creatures that were fairly common in the early days of Magic, and under-powered since they could fit into any color deck.
