Touch of the Eternal, card number 37 in the Magic 2013 core set, is a rare white enchantment designed by Christopher Moeller. Released in 2012 as part of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card carries a mana cost of five generic mana and two white mana, resulting in a mana value of seven. Its type line identifies it strictly as an Enchantment with a white color identity. The card’s gameplay centers on a unique upkeep effect that rewards board control. At the beginning of the controller’s upkeep, the number of permanents they control is counted, and their life total is set to equal that count. This mechanic creates a dynamic where maintaining a stable field of permanents directly influences the player's survivability. The flavor text, attributed to Laikas, an Erunian monk, reflects on time as a vigilant tyrant from which some have broken free, adding narrative depth to the card’s mechanical function. As a rare card within the Magic 2013 set, this version of Touch of the Eternal is distinguished by its foil finish. The card number 37 places it firmly within the base checklist of the set, making it a recognizable piece for those building comprehensive collections of the M13 era. The combination of its strategic gameplay and visual treatment makes it a notable item for enthusiasts of the game.
