Description

The Nucklavee card, identified by number 214 in the Commander 2011 set, is a 6-mana Creature — Beast with a mana cost of {4}{U/R}{U/R}. Produced in 2011 by Wizards of the Coast, this Uncommon card belongs to the red and blue color identity, making it a versatile tool for players seeking to manipulate their graveyard resources. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the unique strategic possibilities inherent in the Commander format, where singleton decks and multiplayer dynamics encourage creative card selection. Nucklavee’s ability allows players to return specific spells from their graveyard to their hand when it enters the battlefield. Specifically, it can return a target red sorcery or a target blue instant card. This dual-trigger mechanic supports hybrid strategies that blend red and blue magic, enabling players to recast powerful spells without depleting their hand. The card’s power and toughness are set at 4/4, providing a substantial board presence that complements its recursive utility. Artwork by Trevor Hairsine brings the creature to life, capturing the essence of this fearsome beast from Magic’s lore. The flavor text, "It loathes all tastes but two: spells and flesh," underscores the card’s thematic connection to its gameplay function. This Nucklavee card is a staple for those interested in the evolution of Magic: The Gathering’s Commander format. The card features a mana value of 6 and an uncommon rarity within the Commander 2011 set. The creature card has a power and toughness of 4/4 and belongs to the Beast subtype.
