I'm guessing a cycle with Ayara that cost three of a color and likes you playing that color.

Also I don’t feel like checking to see if the other extended art cards have done this but this one lacks flavor text that the normal version has. An odd choice.

Well, to be fair, it is both triple-U and also legendary. Patron Wizard isn’t too far off. I don’t think it’s too much of a push.
Though, the legendary supertype might as well not exist, I’ll play 4 of these when I can considering it scales to the game and also achieves its secondary effect before having to choose which to keep.
For someone with "wizened" in their title, this guy is pretty unwrinkled. They dude could be in his thirties, he just has white hair.
Back to what I was saying about Oviya Pashiri, Sage Lifecrafter. Both of these characters are sexier than most actual people in their thirties. Stop dying people's hair white, and make actual old people!
I just can't see this punk kid as Merlin. The guy uses too much hair product.
That's quite a bit more than just a gnarled mass in blue. Blue decks should have no problem churning out value from its tap clause with cantrips or control spells on opponents turn to tap down creatures, making it a lot like a fiend hunter style value, possibly more in lategame, especially given its own ability to draw gas. It might not be a finisher, but if that isn't powerful enough to drive a thump in on a blue deck I'm not sure what is

I'm finding it hard to call anyone "wizened" when he/she has melted candlewax and lit candles with that much hair product. His head would go up like a torch. ( Yes I know the effect is to be that of long flowing white hair ala the Merlin trope)
As for the card, its okay I suppose. I expected more out of Merlin.

The card is...I dunno. Lot of these legends are kind of on the bland side, and while this one has some good interactions in a mono blue deck, I'm not terribly impressed by it.
Also I don’t feel like checking to see if the other extended art cards have done this but this one lacks flavor text that the normal version has. An odd choice.
Yes, Doom Foretold is the same way, but the font size is larger.

That in itself makes it strong.
Anything else it does is just casual bonus.
Just playing this over and over for a growing amount of X is pretty good.
Artwork wise this is more of a academy wizard, and less a visible powerful being Arcanis the Omnipotent.

If you ask me, the Returned King card is everything that this card should have been.
