Where it came from
Blink of an Eye was originally introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Dominaria expansion in 2018. Designed as a common-rarity blue instant, the card provides versatile utility by allowing a player to return a nonland permanent to its owner's hand, with an optional kicker cost that grants the player an additional card draw. It reflects the game's long-standing mechanical tradition of 'bounce' spells that disrupt tempo while maintaining card advantage.
The version included in the Foundations Jumpstart set, numbered 289, serves as a functional reprint designed to support the set's streamlined, accessible play experience. The artwork maintains the thematic identity of the original release, focusing on the swift, ephemeral nature of blue-aligned magic. As a staple utility card, it is frequently utilized by players looking to mitigate threats or protect their own permanents during fast-paced play sessions.
