Reckless Imp

Description

The Magic: The Gathering trading card Reckless Imp, numbered 115, is a distinct creature card from the 2015 Dragons of Tarkir set. Illustrated by Torstein Nordstrand, this common black card features a foil finish that enhances its visual appeal within the collection. As a Creature — Imp with a mana cost of {2}{B} and power/toughness of 2/2, the card offers a balanced stat line for its casting cost. The card’s strategic identity is defined by its unique abilities: Flying allows it to bypass ground defenders, while a specific restriction prevents it from blocking opposing creatures. Its most distinctive feature is the Dash ability, which allows players to cast the spell for an alternative cost of {1}{B}. If this alternative cost is paid, the Imp gains haste for immediate impact, but it is returned to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step. This mechanic creates a dynamic play pattern, enabling temporary board presence without long-term resource commitment. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out specific cards from the Dragons of Tarkir expansion to complete their sets or to appreciate the foil treatments applied to common cards. The Reckless Imp foil stands out as a notable entry for those building comprehensive collections of the set. Its clear rules text and straightforward design make it an accessible yet valuable addition to any library. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector exploring the depths of Tarkir, this card represents a key piece of the 2015 era's design philosophy.
