Meineck The Alchemyst
This card represents new beginnings based on trial and error.. experimenting .. testing.. and then evaluating.  It can show a single mindedness to complete a task. 
Here you can see a glowing light emanating from his wand, the fire stand with Ivy entwined around it,  on the table a book of learning and around him we see implements used by him to create Alchemy and magic.
This design is enhanced with the use of Metallic and Filaments.
