Recruit the Worthy

Description

Released in 2019 as part of the Modern Horizons set, Recruit the Worthy (card number 22) is a white Instant that serves as a foundational tool for aggressive and token-based strategies in Magic: The Gathering. Illustrated by Joe Slucher, this common rarity card features a distinctive foil finish that elevates its visual appeal for collectors and players alike. The card’s mechanics offer strategic flexibility through its buyback ability. By paying an additional {3} mana, players can ensure the card returns to their hand after resolving, maintaining hand density while still creating a 1/1 white Soldier creature token. This dual utility makes it a staple in decks that rely on creature count for attacks or sacrifice engines. The flavor text, "For peace of mind, they mustered for war," adds narrative depth, reflecting the card’s theme of conscription and martial readiness. Its simple yet effective design makes it accessible to new players while remaining relevant in competitive formats. The foil treatment further enhances its collectibility, offering a premium tactile experience that stands out in any binder or collection. Whether you are building a Commander deck or focusing on Limited play, this card provides reliable value and strategic options.
