About Momentary Blink

Momentary Blink, Instant, designed by Evan Shipard first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 13 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 10.97. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that focuses on creatures with powerful enter-the-battlefield abilities or with abilities that trigger when they are flickered would benefit from Momentary Blink. Decks that rely on tempo plays and value from reusing creature abilities would find this card useful. While there are other flicker effects like Ephemerate or Restoration Angel that may offer more immediate value, Momentary Blink's flexibility as both an instant and a potential graveyard play can make it a solid choice in the right deck. It should see play in decks looking to maximize the value of their creatures' abilities through flickering effects.

Rules

03/19/21

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

03/19/21

When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

03/19/21

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

03/19/21

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”

02/01/07

If Momentary Blink is cast on a token creature, the token will not return to the battlefield, because of the rule that says a token that leaves the battlefield can’t come back.

09/25/06

When Momentary Blink resolves, the creature is exiled, then immediately returned to the battlefield. The game sees the returning card as a different permanent from the one that left the battlefield. Any counters, Auras, and so on are removed. Any spells or abilities targeting the creature no longer target it.
