Hardened Scales

Description

Hardened Scales (133p) is a foil rare enchantment from the 2014 Khans of Tarkir Promos set. Designed by Mark Winters, this Magic: The Gathering card features a mana cost of {G} and a mana value of 1. As a green enchantment, it provides a distinct mechanical advantage by modifying how +1/+1 counters are applied to creatures. The rules text specifies that if one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead. This effect makes the card a functional tool for strategies focused on token production and creature growth. The card is identified by the set code PKTK and is classified as a promotional release rather than a standard expansion card. This 2014 Khans of Tarkir Promos card, numbered 133p, features a foil finish and the enchantment Hardened Scales. The flavor text, attributed to Golran, a dragonscale captain, reads, "Naga shed their scales. We wear ours with pride." This narrative element adds depth to the card's identity within the game's lore. The card costs {G} to cast and allows you to put twice as many +1/+1 counters on creatures you control. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, the Hardened Scales 133p foil promo represents a tangible piece of the game's 2014 history. Its clear text and distinctive foil finish make it a notable addition to any binder.
