Description
Published by Wizards of the Coast, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card functions as an Equipment artifact that provides significant tactical advantages to the controller. With a mana cost of three, the card grants the equipped creature a +2/+2 power and toughness boost while granting protection from both white and black mana sources. Beyond its defensive capabilities, Sword of Light and Shadow offers a powerful recursive effect. Whenever the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, the controller gains 3 life and may return a target creature card from their graveyard to their hand. This ability makes it a compelling addition for collectors interested in artifact synergies and graveyard recursion strategies. The card is presented in a special foil finish, enhancing its visual appeal for display and collection purposes. Artists like Matt Stewart contributed to the visual identity of this era, creating pieces that resonate with long-time players and new enthusiasts alike. Integrating this foil variant into a Magic: The Gathering collection adds depth for those focused on completing the Kaladesh Inventions subset or building thematic artifact decks.
