Blur

Description

The Blur card, numbered 58 in the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate set, is a distinct blue instant from Magic: The Gathering’s 2022 release. Designed by Dave Greco, this common rarity card features a premium foil finish that adds visual appeal for collectors and players alike. The card’s mana cost of {2}{U} and mana value of 3 make it a flexible tool within blue-based decks, offering strategic depth without requiring excessive resource investment. In gameplay, Blur provides a versatile effect that allows players to exile a target creature they control and then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control, followed by drawing a card. This unique interaction offers tactical options for repositioning creatures, triggering enter-the-battlefield effects, or manipulating board states while maintaining card advantage. The flavor text, "It's as much a trick of the mind as it is a trick of the eye," hints at the deceptive nature of the creature's ability, adding narrative flavor to its mechanical function. For collectors, the Blur foil card represents a tangible piece of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion, which brought iconic Dungeons & Dragons characters and themes into the Magic: The Gathering universe. The set's connection to the beloved Baldur's Gate video game series adds a layer of nostalgia and crossover appeal, making cards like Blur attractive to both TCG enthusiasts and fans of the fantasy genre. The foil treatment enhances the card's collectibility, making it a desirable addition to any organized collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your personal archive, this card provides both functional utility and aesthetic value.
