Description
Blink of an Eye, card number 46 from the 2018 Dominaria set, is a blue Instant that offers versatile interaction through its Kicker ability. Designed by Igor Kieryluk, this Common card provides players with a strategic choice: pay the additional mana cost to enhance its effect. Without Kicker, the spell returns a target nonland permanent to its owner's hand. If the kicker cost is paid, the effect is amplified by allowing the caster to draw a card, adding significant value to the interaction. As part of Magic: The Gathering's expansive lore, Dominaria serves as a foundational setting for many classic stories and mechanics. Blink of an Eye fits into this narrative framework with a design that emphasizes tempo and resource management. The card’s blue mana cost of {1}{U} and mana value of 2 make it an accessible option for early-game strategies. Collectors appreciate the distinct art and rules text that define this era of the game. For enthusiasts building collections of Magic: The Gathering cards, Blink of an Eye represents a key piece of the Dominaria block. Its straightforward mechanics and thematic consistency make it a staple for those interested in the game’s history and design evolution. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the hobby, this card offers a glimpse into the strategic depth that defines Magic. Discover more cards from the Dominaria set and beyond.
