Lorwyn Eclipsed Instant-Speed Tricks

This is a list of all the instant-speed tricks in Lorwyn Eclipsed. Each color is sorted by converted mana cost.

• Lorwyn Eclipsed has 16 ways to put creatures into play at instant speed, half of which are Common or Uncommon. Of those, four are Blue (Glamermite and the hybrid Mischievous Sneakling at Common, and Glamer Gifter and Illusion Spinners at Uncommon), two are Green (Dawn's Light Archer and Unforgiving Aim, both of which are Commons), two are Black (the hybrid Mischievous Sneakling at Common, and Dose of Dawnglow at Uncommon which can return a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield untapped), and one is White (Flock Impostor at Uncommon). A number of them can rescue another creature or make it harder to kill, including Flock Impostor and Glamer Gifter at Uncommon, and Rhys, the Evermore, Disruptor of Currents, Glen Elendra Guardian, and Selfless Safewright at Rare.
• In addition to the instant-speed creatures that can help protect other creatures, the set also has Aquitect's Defenses and Gilt-Leaf's Embrace at Common and Personify and Blossoming Defense at Uncommon that can protect creatures from removal.
• Blue, Black, and Green each have an Aura or Equipment that provides a permanent boost to power and toughness along with an ability that lasts until end of turn (Aquitect's Defenses, Barbed Bloodletter, and Gilt-Leaf's Embrace respectively).
• Red and Blue each have two instant-speed removal spells at Common (Tweeze and Feed the Flames in Red, and temporary removal in the form of Glamermite and Run Away Together in Blue). White, Black, and Green have one each at that rarity (Keep Out, Blight Rot, and Unforgiving Aim respectively). In addition, every color except Green has another couple of instant-speed removal spells at Uncommon. Blight Rot is one of the best removal spells we've seen at Common in recent sets.
