Description
The Iron Golem is an Uncommon Artifact Creature from the 2021 Magic: The Gathering Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set, identified by card number 247. Designed by Nicholas Gregory, this card brings a classic fantasy archetype to the table with a straightforward but effective stat line of 5/3. As an artifact, it bypasses land dependency, allowing players to deploy this four-mana threat reliably in the mid-game. The card features the keyword ability Vigilance, meaning the Golem can attack and still be ready to block in the same turn, providing both offensive pressure and defensive stability. This dual utility makes it a staple in decks seeking consistent board presence without sacrificing defense. Collectors of the AFR expansion often seek this card to complete their rare and uncommon sets, appreciating its role in the Forgotten Realms narrative. The flavor text hints at the creature's relentless nature, adding depth to its mechanical design. Whether you are building a Commander deck or exploring the casual format, the Iron Golem offers a solid foundation for artifact strategies. Its clean type line and reliable abilities make it a recognizable piece of modern Magic history.
