# Ardent Recruit Ardent Recruit is a straightforward common from Mirrodin Besieged that represents the set's infect mechanic in white. As a one-mana 1/1 creature with infect, it served a functional role in limited formats where infect decks needed early threats. Collectors typically view it as a bulk common with minimal appeal outside of set completion or infect-themed casual decks. The card exists in both nonfoil and foil versions, though neither variant commands collector interest. Its simplicity and common rarity mean it rarely appears in curated collections. For most players, Ardent Recruit remains a forgettable limited filler card that defined the era of Mirrodin block's mechanical experimentation rather than any lasting impact on the game.
