Exemplar of Light

Description

Illustrated by Chris Rahn, this white mana card boasts a mana value of four, requiring a cast cost of two generic and two white mana to enter the battlefield with a 3/3 power and toughness. Exemplar of Light offers a compelling gameplay loop centered on life gain. The creature possesses the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers. More importantly, it features a triggered ability that places a +1/+1 counter on itself whenever the player gains life. This growth mechanic is paired with a unique card draw effect: whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are placed on Exemplar of Light, the controller draws a card, though this trigger resolves only once each turn. This combination of defensive resilience and card advantage makes it a notable addition for those building white-based strategies. For collectors, the foil treatment of this Rare card adds a distinct visual appeal, enhancing its desirability for those completing the Foundations collection or seeking high-quality examples of Chris Rahn’s artwork. The card’s identity as a white Angel with specific counter interactions provides a unique niche within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem.
