About Guardians of Akrasa

Guardians of Akrasa, Creature — human soldier, designed by Alan Pollack first released in May, 2020 in the set Shards of Alara and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.02.

This card, Guardians of Akrasa, would be a great addition to a defensive or control-oriented white deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides a solid blocker with the Defender ability and boosts the power of your attacking creatures with Exalted. While it may not be a standout card for more aggressive strategies, it can certainly shine in a deck focused on stalling the game and building up a powerful board presence. However, there are potentially better options available depending on the specific deck strategy, such as cards with more impactful abilities or stats for a similar mana cost, so it's worth considering the overall synergy and power level of the deck before including Guardians of Akrasa.

Rules

10/01/08

Exalted bonuses last until end of turn. If an effect creates an additional combat phase during your turn, a creature that attacked alone during the first combat phase will still have its exalted bonuses in that new phase. If a creature attacks alone during the second combat phase, all your exalted abilities will trigger again.

10/01/08

If you declare exactly one creature as an attacker, each exalted ability on each permanent you control (including, perhaps, the attacking creature itself) will trigger. The bonuses are given to the attacking creature, not to the permanent with exalted. Ultimately, the attacking creature will wind up with +1/+1 for each of your exalted abilities.

10/01/08

Some effects put creatures onto the battlefield attacking. Since those creatures were never declared as attackers, they’re ignored by exalted abilities. They won’t cause exalted abilities to trigger. If any exalted abilities have already triggered (because exactly one creature was declared as an attacker), those abilities will resolve as normal even though there may now be multiple attackers.
