Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is a formidable Legendary Creature card with a casting cost of {4}{R}{W}{W}. As an Angel, it possesses a substantial 5/5 power and toughness, and it comes with a set of game-changing abilities:

• It has flying, allowing it to soar over the battlefield and attack without being blocked by creatures without reach or flying.

• Gisela's first strike ability means that it deals combat damage before creatures without first strike, often enabling it to eliminate its opponents in combat without taking damage in return.

• Gisela's most distinctive feature is her damage-altering ability. When a source would deal damage to an opponent or a permanent an opponent controls, that source deals double that damage instead. This means that any damage-dealing effect aimed at your opponents becomes twice as potent, making Gisela a fearsome offensive force.

• Additionally, if a source would deal damage to you or a permanent you control, Gisela steps in to prevent half of that damage, rounded up. This defensive aspect helps protect you and your creatures from harm.

Gisela's impressive combination of offense and defense makes her a highly sought-after commander in Magic: The Gathering, and her artwork by Jason Chan perfectly captures her majestic and powerful presence.
