Reckless Amplimancer lets you double a creature's power and toughness until end of turn for two mana — straightforward rate, massive ceiling in decks that go wide or tall. The cost is that it's a one-shot trick with no lasting board presence, so it earns a slot only when your creatures are already threatening enough to close games on the back of it.

Reckless Amplimancer is a bulk uncommon, and competitive formats treat it accordingly — it sees essentially no play in Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, or Vintage, where interaction is too efficient and a single doubled creature rarely survives to deal damage. Pauper is the one 60-card context where a single big threat can run away with a game, so aggressive creature shells there might find a one-of use, but it still competes with more resilient pump. Commander is where Reckless Amplimancer has the most argument: one-shot doubling on a commander with high base power, or on a token that's already absurd, can end a game in a single combat step.

Price Context
Current price
$0.06 bulk tier
At $0.06, Reckless Amplimancer is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing to test it. That price is stable by default rather than by demand, so don't expect movement in either direction.
