Quickstep Specter of the Feywild
The Blink Dog from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is a deceptively modest creature that packs a serious tactical punch. With its Double strike ability, it can chip away at blockers and opponents alike, making it a surprisingly effective attacker despite its 1/1 frame. The addition of Teleport introduces a flavorful and practical evasion mechanic—paying {3}{W} lets Blink Dog phase out, evading removal or combat damage until you're ready to bring it back. This timing can be critical in preserving board presence against sweepers or spot removal.
In synergy terms, Blink Dog pairs well with cards that benefit from creatures entering or leaving the battlefield, such as Thrill of Possibility or enchantments that trigger on phases, allowing you to maximize the value of its phasing ability. Its low mana cost and the defensive utility of phasing make it a versatile inclusion in white blink or tempo strategies. The Light Play Foil treatment highlights this elusive canine’s ethereal nature, making it a collectible piece for both players and fans of the set’s unique blend of Dungeons & Dragons flavor and Magic mechanics.
