Recruit Instructor

Description

The Recruit Instructor (Card 28) stands as a distinctive Mythic Rare creature within the Magic: The Gathering Alchemy: Bloomburrow set released in 2024. Illustrated by Omar Rayyan, this card introduces a unique Mouse Warrior archetype that blends aggression with resource generation. As a two-mana {R}{W} creature, it offers early board presence while providing immediate value through its triggered abilities. The card’s primary strength lies in its combat trigger. Whenever Recruit Instructor attacks, the player drafts a card directly from the Recruit Instructor's spellbook. This mechanic encourages aggressive playstyles, rewarding players for pushing damage while simultaneously refilling their hand. The interaction with the spellbook adds a layer of strategic depth, allowing for flexible mana usage and card advantage that is specific to the Alchemy format. Additionally, the Valiant keyword enhances the card's survivability and token generation. When targeted by a spell or ability the controller owns for the first time each turn, it creates a 1/1 white Mouse creature token. This defensive utility complements its offensive capabilities, making it a resilient piece in the Alchemy: Bloomburrow collection. Collectors and players alike appreciate the Recruit Instructor for its balanced design and thematic consistency within the set. Completing the Alchemy: Bloomburrow set requires acquiring this Mythic Rare card, making it a focal point for set builders. Whether used in casual play or collected for its rarity and art, the Recruit Instructor represents a key component of the 2024 expansion. Its dual-color identity and versatile abilities ensure it remains a memorable part of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game landscape.
