PRISMARI

Zaffai, Thunder Conductor

College of Elemental Arts

“We agree that art is the truest form of spellcraft, that expressing oneself beautifully is the true purpose of magic. But we disagree on method. Some of us hone our technique over years of practice; others of us scream out a pent-up emotion.” — Brodd Scaldbreath, Prismari professor emeritus

Prismari mages see no difference between magic and art. Their spells are spectacles of raw creativity, masterpieces of showy, over-the-top magecraft. Any elemental force can be a Prismari muse and medium.

Zaffai, Thunder Conductor

As soon as Zaffai came of age, his parents sent him to Strixhaven, assuring him his budding musical genius deserved the finest instruction in the world. (In truth, though his talent was indeed prodigious, they were also growing tired of their house being randomly struck by lightning or caught up in a cyclone whenever he practiced.) At Strixhaven, he flourished as both mage and musician, eventually becoming both a professor and a peerless conductor. In addition to teaching, he serves as maestro of Strixhaven’s Orchestra of the Arcane, an elite extracurricular activity for top Prismari students. For obvious reasons, their rehearsals and concerts are always held outdoors, and their music fills the sky with beautiful explosions of elemental magic.

2 Foil Mythic Rare Legends in Every Deck

Prismari Performance introduces Veyran, Voice of Duality. In addition to being an accomplished elementalist, Veyran serves as a mentor to many Prismari pledgemages. With the magecraft mechanic, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, Veyran gets +1/+1 until the end of the turn. Plus, if casting or copying that spell causes an ability to trigger on a permanent you control, Veyran's inspiring presence causes the ability to trigger again.
