Wizard Subtype Trivia

As it is now the 19th it's my birthday! Given that I share a birthday with Criss Angel, I'm invoking trivia on the Wizard subtype! Any interesting tidbits you can share?

There is only one Wizard in Alpha - Prodigal Sorcerer. The second card printed with a Wizard creature type was Apprentice Wizard in The Dark, Magic’s fourth expansion. It wasn’t until Ice Age, Magic’s sixth expansion, that a non-blue creature was printed with the Wizard creature type (Krovikan Elementalist in black).Happy Birthday!

Wilds Stories Appreciated

I really like the different side stories told through cards in Wilds of Eldraine, like the apprentice wizard, the rat swarm, the werefox story etc. It really makes the world more fleshed out.

I’ll pass along the compliment.

Apprentice Wizard and Blue

I read in MtG Wiki that Apprentice Wizard is a color pie break even though we have blue mana production as close as Fate Reforged (Renowned Weaponsmith). Is this true?

No. Blue is allowed access to colorless mana. It’s most often tied to artifact production.

Apprentice Wizard Query

Is Apprentice Wizard a bend or a break?

No.

Apprentice Wizard Bend / Break

Mana Creature Analysis

Which old mana creature is more of a colour pie break, Apprentice Wizard or Sisters of the Flame?

Apprentice Wizard is in Blue’s color pie. Blue can have creatures that tap for colorless mana. Sisters of the Flame is a little out of Red’s color pour as Red gets one-shot temporary mana.

Tertiary Mana Production

Would you say blue is "tertiary" in mana production? You've let it produce colorless mana (Deranged Assistant) or mana that's restricted for artifact use (Renowned Weaponsmith) recently, but would cards like Apprentice Wizard and Iceberg still be in blue's part of the pie?

Blue is allowed to produce colorless mana.
