Where it came from
Momentary Blink was originally introduced in the 2006 Time Spiral expansion as an uncommon instant that allowed players to exile and return a creature to the battlefield. This mechanic, colloquially known as blinking, became a foundational tool for deck builders to reset enter-the-battlefield abilities or protect key permanents from removal. The card design reflects the set's broader theme of celebrating Magic: The Gathering's history by revisiting and refining iconic mechanics through a fresh lens.
The 2017 Modern Masters printing features updated artwork by artist Johannes Voss, who captures the ethereal, transient nature of the spell’s effect. This version was released as part of a curated set designed to support the Modern format, providing players with easier access to popular staples and draft-friendly cards. Upon its inclusion in the 2017 collection, the card was well-received by the competitive community for both its practical utility in flicker-themed archetypes and its refined visual aesthetic compared to the original release.
