Product Overview

Description

Mighty Leap, identified as card number 26 in the Magic 2012 (M12) core set, is a white Instant that offers a straightforward yet impactful effect for players. Released in 2011, this card provides a temporary power boost and aerial capability to a single target creature, making it a versatile tool for various strategies. The illustration for this card was created by artist rk post, adding a distinct visual style to the M12 collection. In gameplay, Mighty Leap costs one white mana to cast, resulting in a mana value of two. Upon resolution, the targeted creature receives a +2/+2 counter effect and gains the flying ability until the end of the turn. This combination allows players to push through blockers or secure lethal damage quickly. The card's flavor text features a quote from Brezard Skeinbow, captain of the guard, adding a touch of humor to the game's lore. Collectors often seek out Mighty Leap for its historical significance within the M12 set, which marked a pivotal era for Magic: The Gathering. As a Common rarity card, it is widely available, yet it remains a favorite for completing base sets and building collections.
