Pocket Trickster
Mischievous Pup plays like a compact tempo piece that fits into many white aggressive and toolbox shells. With Flash you can deploy it on an opponent's end step or hold it back to respond to removal. When Mischievous Pup enters the battlefield you can bounce another permanent you control to your hand which resets a tapped blocker or protects a key piece from targeted removal. The printed 3 1 power and toughness profile means it trades poorly with larger threats yet wins small skirmishes and chump blocks reliably.
In practical play the Pup is a surprise tool. Use it to reset a creature with an enter the battlefield trigger or to reuse a utility land after it has done its work. The card slots neatly into Lost Caverns of Ixalan builds where tempo and opportunistic interactions matter. This near mint foil copy keeps the artwork vibrant while providing the same rules text you expect when you need a quick bounce and a little board presence.
