Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Hardened Scales, from Khans of Tarkir. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

One green mana, one line of rules text, and a whole archetype built around it. Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, Hardened Scales adds one more. That sounds modest until you see what it does to cards that care about counters: a Walking Ballista cast for X=1 arrives with two, every activation of Hangarback Walker grows it by two, and any effect that drops counters across your whole team quietly hands out an extra one per creature.

This is where it all started. Hardened Scales debuted in Khans of Tarkir as part of the Abzan clan's identity, and its flavor text says it plainly: "Naga shed their scales. We wear ours with pride." From there it went on to anchor a dedicated Hardened Scales artifact deck in Modern built around Arcbound Ravager and Walking Ballista, and it has become a near-automatic inclusion in +1/+1 counters Commander decks.

This is the original Khans of Tarkir printing, collector number 133, a rare illustrated by Mark Winters, offered here in non-foil.
