Product Overview

Description

Anointer of Champions, designated as card number 3 in the 2017 Archenemy: Nicol Bolas expansion, represents a foundational white mana creature for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. This uncommon card costs a single mana to cast and enters the battlefield as a 1/1 Human Cleric. Its primary utility lies in its activated ability, which allows the controller to tap the card to grant a target attacking creature +1/+1 until the end of the turn. This effect provides immediate tactical flexibility, enabling players to secure critical combat victories or push through lethal damage during aggressive strategies. Collectors often seek out cards from this release for their distinct mechanical contributions and the set's innovative format. The artwork by Anna Steinbauer complements the card's identity, bringing the character to life for those who appreciate the visual storytelling of the Magic universe. As a member of the Cleric subtype, it also synergizes with various tribal themes that have appeared in other Magic: The Gathering sets over the years. For players building decks centered on early-game aggression or white mana efficiency, Anointer of Champions offers a reliable option. Its low mana cost makes it accessible in the early turns, while its ability to enhance other creatures adds depth to tactical decision-making. Whether you are looking to complete a set, explore the mechanics of the Archenemy format, or add a solid early-game piece to your collection, this card holds a specific place in the Magic: The Gathering canon.
