Esper Battlemage (ALA-40) is an uncommon Artifact Creature — Human Wizard from Shards of Alara. It has two activated tap abilities that provide small utility: one pays white to prevent the next 2 damage to you this turn and the other pays black to give target creature -1/-1 until end of turn. Its colored artifact status means it is colored in all zones and interacts with cards that care about color as well as with artifact-specific effects.
