Product Overview

Description

Gleam of Resistance, identified as card number 17 in the Modern Masters (MMA) set, was released by Wizards of the Coast in 2013. As a white instant within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card serves as a foundational tool for players seeking versatile combat assistance and resource acceleration. The Modern Masters line is renowned for reprinting classic cards in premium foil finishes, making each card a durable and visually striking addition to any TCG collection. The card’s mechanics offer significant tactical flexibility. By paying {4}{W}, a player can enhance their battlefield presence, granting creatures +1/+2 power and toughness until the end of the turn while simultaneously untapping them for further attacks. This dual effect makes it a valuable combat trick in white-based strategies. Additionally, the card features the basic landcycling ability, allowing players to search their library for a basic land by discarding the card and paying {1}{W}. This mechanic ensures the card rarely goes to waste, providing consistent ramp or removal options when its combat benefits are no longer needed. Artwork by Matt Stewart brings the spell to life, capturing the ethereal nature of white mana. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a layer of desirability, reflecting light and emphasizing the card’s importance in the set. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a comprehensive collection of Modern Masters cards, Gleam of Resistance stands out as a staple of efficient white magic.
