Armament Corps

Description

The 2019 Magic: The Gathering The List release features the Armament Corps card (KTK-165), a versatile three-color Human Soldier creature designed for strategic counter distribution. This card introduces a distinct gameplay mechanic where entering the battlefield allows the controller to place two +1/+1 counters across their existing creatures. This flexibility makes it a valuable asset for builders seeking to enhance their board presence without committing to a single target. Artistically rendered by Steven Belledin, the card captures the essence of the Abzan philosophy described in its flavor text: avoiding extended supply lines by incorporating weapons stores directly into battle formations. The mana cost of {2}{W}{B}{G} reflects its multi-colored identity, requiring White, Black, and Green mana sources to cast. With a mana value of 5 and a power/toughness of 4/4, it serves as a substantial threat that grows stronger the more counters it helps distribute. The Armament Corps card represents a specific moment in the game's design history, appealing to those who appreciate complex mana requirements and tactical counter mechanics. Its inclusion in The catalog ensures that enthusiasts can access this piece of TCG history for their collections. Whether you are focusing on completing set milestones or simply admire the intricate design of multi-colored creatures, this card offers a tangible connection to the strategic depth of the game. The combination of its mechanical utility and thematic flavor makes it a notable entry for dedicated players and collectors alike.
