Hardened Scales

Description

Hardened Scales is a rare enchantment card from the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset, released in 2022. Identified as card number 215 in the 40K set code, this single-green mana spell offers a significant advantage for decks focused on creature growth and durability. The card's effect is straightforward yet potent: when one or more +1/+1 counters would be placed on a creature you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead. This doubling effect makes it a valuable asset for strategies that rely on building up a board presence through counter-based mechanics. Designed by Mathias Kollros, the card captures the essence of the Warhammer 40,000 universe within the strategic framework of Magic: The Gathering. The flavor text references a carnifex advancing through lasgun fire, hinting at the resilient, monstrous nature of the faction's creatures. As a Commander subset card, Hardened Scales is tailored for casual, high-stakes gameplay where unique interactions and thematic consistency are prioritized. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek out Warhammer 40,000 cards for their distinctive art and crossover appeal. This enchantment is sought after by players looking to enhance their creature-based decks with reliable counter amplification. Whether you are building a new list or adding to your collection, Hardened Scales represents a key piece of the Warhammer 40,000 expansion's strategic depth.
