Description
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, card number 209, stands as a formidable presence within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2012 as part of the Avacyn Restored set, this Mythic Rare legendary creature—a seven-mana Angel—commands attention for its impactful battlefield influence. Designed by Jason Chan, the card features the distinct mana cost of four generic, one red, and two white mana, reflecting its dual-color identity of red and white. Gisela modifies combat damage by doubling any damage dealt to opponents or their permanents, while simultaneously reducing incoming damage against her controller by half. This unique ability makes the card a strategic cornerstone for players building aggressive or mid-range decks. The Avacyn Restored expansion remains a significant chapter in the game's history, and Gisela represents a high-tier addition to any serious collection. Whether you are a long-time veteran or new to the hobby, understanding the identity and function of cards like Gisela is essential for informed collecting.
