Westgate Regent

Description

The Westgate Regent card, designated as number 126s in the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Promos set, is a 2021 release from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Mike Jordana, this foil rare creature card represents the Black color identity with a mana cost of {3}{B}{B} and a mana value of 5. As a Vampire, the card brings specific strategic elements to the table, appealing to collectors who appreciate the lore and mechanics of this iconic creature type. In gameplay, the Westgate Regent boasts a power and toughness of 4/4, enhanced by the flying keyword ability which allows it to evade most blockers. It also features Ward—Discard a card, a defensive trait that forces opponents to discard a card if they target it with spells or abilities, or have the effect countered entirely. The card's Ward ability counters opponent spells unless they discard a card. Furthermore, whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, it receives +1/+1 counters, allowing it to grow significantly stronger throughout the game. This growth mechanic rewards aggressive play and synergizes well with decks focused on creature durability. The 126s designation identifies this card as a foil promo variant within the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Promos set. The foil treatment gives the card a distinct visual presence, making it a sought-after item for those building themed collections or completing the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Promos checklist. The combination of its vampire subtype, unique ward ability, and foil finish makes the Westgate Regent a notable piece for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts.
