  "type_line": "Enchantment",
  "rules_text": "Creature tokens you control get +1/+1 and have reach.\nAt the beginning of your end step, if you control fewer than six creatures, create three 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens.",

  "primary_role": "threat",
  "signature": false,
  "myth_source": "https://www.theoi.com/Text/HomerIliad5.html",
  "myth_connection": "Iliad 5.699–824 and 907–909: the Argives give ground under Ares's assault before the goddesses intervene and end his slaughter. A thinning formation receives reinforcements, then holds with improved strength and defensive coverage. Reach is a game adaptation of a braced spear line, not an assertion of a particular aerial battle in the poem.",
  "narrative_beat": "The line gives ground without ceasing to be an army.",
  "design_note": "An independent anthem and rebuilding engine replaces a creature anthem. The six-creature threshold limits free accumulation; the extra power remains if Athena leaves. It provides a useful answer to flying attackers through blocking rather than another removal spell.",
  "signature_demo": null,
  "counterplay": "Remove the enchantment, sweep after its end-step trigger, or leave its controller above the threshold while attacking elsewhere. The condition is checked both when the ability would trigger and when it resolves; new tokens cannot attack immediately and can be removed normally.",
  "art_brief": "Three exhausted Argive soldiers brace their long spears together as the front soldier takes one step forward; plain dusty ground and generous empty sky.",
  "tokens": [
    {
      "name": "Soldier",
      "colors": [
        "W"
      ],

## 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 Enchantment; 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: Three exhausted Argive soldiers brace their long spears together as the front soldier takes one step forward; plain dusty ground and generous empty sky. 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: The Argives Hold
Mana cost: {2}{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: Enchantment
Rules, with paragraph breaks:
Creature tokens you control get +1/+1 and have reach.

At the beginning of your end step, if you control fewer than six creatures, create three 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens.
Statistics: none; no power/toughness box.
Rarity: rare; small gold lightning-bolt set mark at right of type bar.
Footer: A10   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 full-card inspection: The Argives Hold title, 2/G/W cost glyph order, Enchantment, and both full rules paragraphs match. Checked creature tokens, +1/+1, reach, your end step, fewer than six creatures, and three 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens. Ordinary green-white/gold frame with no crown, Nyx or stat badge. Warm gold lightning, oval and A10 footer present. Three soldiers brace long spears on dusty ground under open sky. All text legible; no unresolved data/layout defect.
