Description
Imp's Mischief is a rare instant card from the 2023 Commander Masters set, identified as card number 167 in the Commander Masters (CMM) expansion. Designed for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this Black-colored card costs one generic mana and one black mana to cast. Its primary effect allows a player to change the target of a target spell that has only one target, shifting that spell to a new legal target. However, this tactical advantage comes with a steep price: the player who casts Imp's Mischief loses life equal to the mana value of the original spell. This mechanic makes the card a powerful tool for disruption in multiplayer Commander games, where redirecting opponent spells can save allies or force unfavorable interactions. The card features artwork by Thomas M. Baxa, whose illustrations are a staple of the Commander Masters aesthetic. Collectors often seek out the foil version of this card for its shimmering finish and distinct rarity designation. For investors and hobbyists, completing the Commander Masters set requires acquiring every rare card, including this instant. The card’s flavor text, attributed to Nicol Bolas, adds narrative depth, reflecting the cruel nature of the planeswalker. Whether you are building a competitive Red Deck Wins strategy or simply expanding your collection of foil rares, Imp's Mischief offers a unique blend of gameplay utility and collectible appeal. The card’s design and mechanics are representative of the high-quality production values found in the Commander Masters series.
