Moonsilver Spear

Description

The Moonsilver Spear stands as a significant artifact equipment within the Magic: The Gathering universe, originating from the Avacyn Restored Promos set released in 2012. Identified by the card number 217★, this release features a distinctive star foil treatment that distinguishes it from standard prints, making it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the game's collectible tiers. As an Artifact — Equipment, the card provides a strategic advantage by granting first strike to the equipped creature, enhancing its combat effectiveness in the early stages of a match. Beyond its defensive utility, the Moonsilver Spear offers a potent offensive capability. Whenever the equipped creature attacks, the card triggers the creation of a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying. This ability allows players to swing for significant damage or block incoming threats, adding a layer of dynamic play that has kept the card relevant in various formats. The equip cost of {4} requires careful mana management, ensuring that the card’s power is balanced against the resources needed to activate it. For collectors, the combination of its rare rarity and the exclusive promo distribution method adds to its appeal. The card was illustrated by Nic Klein, whose work contributes to the visual identity of the Avacyn Restored era. Enthusiasts often seek out this card to complete specialized collections or to utilize its unique token-generating mechanic in their gameplay. The star foil finish not only enhances its aesthetic value but also serves as a clear indicator of its promotional status, marking it as a prized addition for any serious Magic: The Gathering archive.
