Magic: The Gathering - Erratic Portal (Artifact) Card Description: Erratic Portal is a versatile artifact card from the classic Exodus set. With a casting cost of 4 mana, this card allows players to pay 1 mana and tap it to return a target creature to its owner’s hand unless its controller pays 1 mana. This powerful ability offers strategic value in both offensive and defensive plays, enabling you to bounce your own creatures to avoid removal or disrupt your opponent’s field. Card Details: Name: Erratic Portal Type: Artifact Set: Exodus Set Symbol: Represented by the Exodus emblem on the card Illustrator: John Matson Flavor Text: “In Barrin’s name!” cried Lyna as Hanna’s sword passed through her, “Ertai sends word that the portal is open—but not for long!” Lore and Flavor Context: In the broader Magic: The Gathering lore, Erratic Portal plays a role in the Weatherlight Saga, featuring key characters like Barrin, Hanna, and Ertai. In the flavor text, Lyna, a lesser-known character, cries out as Hanna's sword passes through her, suggesting an intense battle or moment of betrayal. Barrin, a skilled wizard, was Hanna's father, and Ertai, a young mage, was deeply involved in the events aboard the Weatherlight. The portal’s "erratic" nature may hint at the turbulent journeys and escapes throughout this saga.
