What Imperial Recruiter Does
Imperial Recruiter finds a creature card with power 2 or less, reveals it, puts it into your hand, then shuffles your library. The Portal Three Kingdoms version is especially notable for collectors and display builds, while the gameplay remains all about efficient creature selection.
The card is strongest when your deck includes important low-power creatures. It is less useful in creature decks where everything is large, because Imperial Recruiter is very good at finding specialists and very bad at finding your enormous dragon with workplace confidence issues.
Best Uses for Imperial Recruiter MTG Proxy
- Commander combo decks: Finds small creatures that complete creature-based combos.
- Red toolbox shells: Locates utility creatures like Goblin Welder or Dockside-style role players where legal.
- Display and old-frame collections: The Portal Three Kingdoms version has strong historical appeal.
Recommended Interactions
Imperial Recruiter works well with blink, recursion, and combo packages that depend on small creatures.
- Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker: A searchable combo engine with 2 power.
- Feldon of the Third Path: A searchable graveyard-value creature for artifact and reanimator-style red decks.
- Recruiter of the Guard: Gives similar tutor redundancy in decks that can play both effects.
