Reckless Bushwhacker

Description

The Reckless Bushwhacker card serves as card number 116 within the Oath of the Gatewatch expansion, released by Magic: The Gathering in 2016. This uncommon creature belongs to the Goblin Warrior Ally tribe and features a mana cost of {2}{R} with a mana value of 3. The card is illustrated by Kieran Yanner, whose artwork defines the visual identity of this release. From a gameplay perspective, Reckless Bushwhacker is a 2/1 creature that possesses the Haste ability, allowing it to attack or use activated abilities the turn it enters the battlefield. Its most distinct feature is the Surge mechanic, printed as {1}{R}. If another spell was cast earlier in the turn, the player may cast this card for the reduced surge cost. When played under these conditions, Reckless Bushwhacker triggers an additional effect: other creatures you control receive +1/+0 power and gain Haste until the end of the turn. This synergy makes the card a flexible inclusion for aggressive red decks looking to establish board presence quickly. Collectors of the Oath of the Gatewatch set often seek out Reckless Bushwhacker to complete their full run of uncommons. The card’s identity as an Ally creature adds to the thematic depth of the set, representing the united front against the planeswalker Nicol Bolas., enthusiasts can locate this card to fill gaps in their collection or to acquire pieces that hold historical significance within the Magic: The Gathering storyline. Whether you are building a commander deck or simply curating a library of modern Magic cards, this release offers a tangible piece of the 2016 expansion era.
