Gleam of Authority
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 for each +1/+1 counter on other creatures you control.
Enchanted creature has vigilance and ", T: Bolster 1." (To bolster 1, choose a creature with the least toughness among creatures you control and put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2015-02-25
You determine which creature to put counters on as the spell or ability that instructs you to bolster resolves. That could be the creature with the bolster ability, if it’s still under your control and has the least toughness.
- 2015-02-25
Bolster itself doesn’t target any creature, though some spells and abilities that bolster may have other effects that target creatures. For example, you could put counters on a creature with protection from white with Aven Tactician’s bolster ability.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
