## Description

Released in 1993 as part of the prestigious Collectors Edition, Nettling Imp holds a specific place in Magic: The Gathering history as card number 118. This Uncommon creature card, illustrated by Quinton Hoover, is defined by its {2}{B} mana cost and its role as a black Imp with 1/1 power and toughness.

This activation is restricted to the opponent's turn, adding a layer of complex decision-making to the early game. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, the Collectors Edition is notable for its glossy black border and premium presentation, distinguishing it from standard print runs. Nettling Imp remains a key piece for those studying the foundational mechanics of the game's first expansion. Its unique effect continues to intrigue players who appreciate the intricate design of early TCG cards. Whether for historical appreciation or deck construction, this card represents a significant moment in the evolution of competitive card games.
