Gleam of Authority

Description

Gleam of Authority is a distinctive enchantment aura card from the 2015 Dragons of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Identified as card number 19, this release features a sought-after foil finish that catches the light and elevates its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate premium treatments in vintage sets. The card was illustrated by Jakub Kasper, whose artwork complements the card's mechanical identity within the broader Tarkir block narrative. As a white mana enchantment with a converted mana cost of two, Gleam of Authority provides strategic depth through its unique scaling ability. The card grants the enchanted creature +1/+1 for each +1/+1 counter on other creatures you control, allowing it to grow significantly stronger in games where board presence is established. Additionally, it bestows vigilance and grants the activated ability to bolster other creatures, making it a versatile tool for maintaining board control and protecting key units. The foil treatment adds a layer of rarity and desirability to this print run. Collectors of the Dragons of Tarkir set often seek out foil versions to complete high-end collections or to build display-worthy decks that showcase the artistic and mechanical diversity of the era. The combination of Jakub Kasper’s design and the foil finish makes this card a standout piece for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a personal archive, this card represents a significant piece of mid-2010s TCG history available.
