  "mana_cost": "{3}{G}{W}",
  "colors": [
    "G",
    "W"
  ],
  "type_line": "Sorcery",
  "rules_text": "Create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each creature you control, then draw a card for each creature token you control.\nExile Athena Among the Argives.",
  "power": null,
  "toughness": null,
  "rarity": "mythic",
  "replaces": "Shamanic Revelation",
  "primary_role": "resource",
  "signature": true,
  "myth_source": "https://www.theoi.com/Text/HomerIliad5.html",
  "myth_connection": "Iliad 5.778–834: Hera and Athena reach the faltering Argive formation, rallying courage before Athena goes to Diomedes. The army already present becomes the basis of reinforcements and overwhelming new confidence. The number of surviving bodies determines the size of the restoration.",
  "narrative_beat": "The line gives ground, then divine aid changes the scale of the battle.",
  "design_note": "The signature resource event is far beyond an ordinary draw spell: it doubles creature count and refills according to the resulting token count. The new troops have no haste, an empty board yields nothing, and self-exile makes this a single surge rather than a recurring Witness engine.",
  "signature_demo": "On turn six, Athena, a token maker, and five tokens become fourteen creatures: seven new Soldiers, twelve tokens total, and twelve cards drawn for five mana. With Athena those twelve tokens represent 48 power, but the seven new Soldiers must survive to a later attack. Even without the god, six existing creatures produce six fresh bodies and at least six cards.",
  "counterplay": "Counter the sorcery or remove creatures before it resolves to reduce both halves. The new army is exposed to sweepers, bounce, and Athena removal. No priority occurs between creating tokens and drawing, and normal maximum hand size applies at cleanup.",
  "art_brief": "Athena arrives beside a shaken Argive standard-bearer who straightens his spear; a restrained row of three silhouettes conveys the formation behind them.",
  "tokens": [
    {
      "name": "Soldier",
      "colors": [
        "W"
      ],
      "type_line": "Token Creature — Soldier",
      "power": "1",
      "toughness": "1",
      "abilities": []
    }

## Exact actual prompt

```text
Use case: product-mockup
Asset type: one complete custom Magic: The Gathering card face
Primary request: Render the exact specified card as a flat upright high-resolution digital card face, approximately 5:7 portrait, with the full narrow black outside border and rounded corners visible.
Input image 1: actual modern Magic FRAME/GEOMETRY reference only. Preserve conventional M15 layout, proportions, rails and typography hierarchy. Replace all its card data, painting and metadata.
Input image 2: CHARACTER/ART STYLE and lightning-bolt SET MARK reference only. Follow its painterly fantasy realism and Athena's bronze helmet, dark wavy hair, pale drapery and armor when she is depicted. Do not copy this commander's game text, panoramic battlefield or Nyx frame.
Frame for this card: green-white gold multicolor ordinary Sorcery; no legendary crown, no Nyx, no stat badge. Art remains in bounded landscape window. Quiet pale rules panel. Small centered bottom oval for this rare/mythic printing.
Typography: Beleren-style single-line name and full type line; Plantin-style dark upright rules serif, readable natural line wrapping with space between supplied paragraphs. Title must clear cost; type must clear set mark.
Art: Athena arrives beside a shaken Argive standard-bearer who straightens his spear; a restrained row of three silhouettes conveys the formation behind them. Use one clear focal narrative moment, painterly fantasy realism, restrained supporting detail and quiet background. No gratuitous ruins, crowds, stars or particles. The illustration is new and inside the art window, no text in painting.

CARD DATA — render verbatim without field labels:
Name: Athena Among the Argives
Mana cost: {3}{G}{W}. Render each ordered token as a proper Magic circular glyph: generic numeral, W white sun, R red flame, G green tree as applicable. Preserve order and count; no literal braces or letters.
Type: Sorcery
Rules, with paragraph breaks:
Create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each creature you control, then draw a card for each creature token you control.

Exile Athena Among the Argives.
Statistics: none; no power/toughness box.
Rarity: mythic; small orange-red lightning-bolt set mark at right of type bar.
Footer: A07   CLASH • CUSTOM • PLAYTEST
Flavor: none. No additional reminder text, artist attribution or official release credits.

Constraints: Exact full name, mana cost, type, rules and statistics. Preserve every word, number, target, zone, qualifier and timing restriction. Inline mana tokens such as Equip {1} become normal mana glyphs at rules-text scale. No added rules, no rephrasing, missing or duplicate text. No ornate UI, perspective, tabletop, shadows or cropped borders.
```

## Observed QA

Passed actual image inspection: full title; ordered 3/G/W glyphs; Sorcery; first rule correctly creates a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each creature you control, then draws for each creature token you control. Self-exile paragraph intact. Ordinary green-white frame has no crown, Nyx or stats; mythic orange-red lightning, oval and A07 footer present. Athena arriving beside standard bearer with restrained formation behind. All text legible with clear paragraph separation.
