Momentary Blink

Description

Momentary Blink (Card #15) is a white instant from the 2016 Duel Decks: Blessed vs. Cursed expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed with a mana cost of {1}{W} and a mana value of 2, this card allows players to exile a target creature they control and then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. This tactical effect provides a versatile option for repositioning units or triggering enter-the-battlefield abilities without permanently removing the creature from play. The card also features a flashback mechanic with a cost of {3}{U}, allowing it to be cast directly from the graveyard. This secondary option adds strategic depth, enabling players to utilize the card even after it has been discarded or sacrificed, thereby maximizing its utility across different phases of the game. The color identity spans both white and blue, reflecting its unique mechanical blend of temporary removal and graveyard recursion. Artwork by Evan Shipard complements the card’s theme, capturing the ephemeral nature of its effect. As a common rarity card within the Duel Decks: Blessed vs. Cursed set, Momentary Blink is a staple for collectors focusing on the game’s strategic depth and historical set releases. The card’s design and mechanics make it a notable piece for those interested in the evolution of instant-speed interactions within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem.
