Riku of Two Reflections is a legendary human wizard from Shandalar.

Description

Riku has always had two different passions: the study of spellcraft and the study of life. The mage could never choose only one of them, and unfortunately had no time to master both. He managed to find the solution to his dilemma through an ancient illusionist's spell: he secretly split himself into two reflections, and each Riku trained and studied for years in its chosen field. Today Riku is regarded as a master wizard of both disciplines, and few know his secrets. The two reflections never stray far from each other, and when danger threatens, enemies must face the power of both Rikus.[1]

Thunder Junction

At some point, Riku found his way through an Omenpath to Thunder Junction where he aimed to hone his magical skills.[2]

Trivia

  • The homeplane of Riku was revealed in Magic 2015/Duels of the Planeswalkers, where he challenges the player to a duel, revealing the location of the Onakke catacomb if defeated. In the game, he is called a master of mirror magic, and fights using the same deck as the player.
