Silvergill Mentor, Creature — merfolk wizard, designed by Iris Compiet first released in Jan, 2026 in the set Lorwyn Eclipsed and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
**Silvergill Mentor** fits best in a **Merfolk tribal deck**, particularly in Modern, Pioneer, or casual tribal formats where you’re already running a high density of Merfolk to reliably “behold” and avoid paying the extra {2}. In aggressive or tempo-oriented Merfolk builds, a 2‑mana creature that effectively brings an extra 1/1 body helps go wide, trigger “lords” like **Lord of Atlantis**, **Master of the Pearl Trident**, or **Merrow Reejerey**, and synergize with tap/untap or token strategies; however, it competes with stronger two-drops such as **Silvergill Adept** (which draws a card and is generally better for maintaining pressure and card advantage) and premium interaction creatures like **Harbinger of the Tides**. In most competitive Merfolk lists, **Silvergill Adept is the better card**, as card draw is usually more valuable than a 1/1 token, so Mentor is more likely to see play in go-wide or token-focused Merfolk builds rather than optimized tournament lists.
