Steadfast Paladin

Description

The Steadfast Paladin, designated as card number 103 in the Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate expansion, is a recognizable entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog. Released in 2022, this set serves as a digital-first companion to the tabletop game, bringing the rich lore of the Forgotten Realms into the MTG Arena ecosystem. As a common rarity card, it offers an accessible point of entry for collectors building their digital libraries or exploring the crossover between Dungeons & Dragons and trading card game mechanics. This card is classified as a Creature — Dwarf Knight, requiring a mana cost of one generic mana and one white mana to cast, resulting in a mana value of two. On the battlefield, it enters as a 2/2 creature, providing a solid foundation for early-game strategies. The defining feature of this card is its ability to grant Lifelink, meaning that any damage dealt by the Paladin will also restore the controller's life total to an equal amount. This mechanical trait adds a layer of defensive utility to the creature, making it a reliable presence in the game. For enthusiasts of the Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate series, the Steadfast Paladin represents a tangible connection to the fantasy world that inspired the expansion. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers to complete their digital collections, and this entry fills an important slot in the set's creature lineup. The artwork by Chris Rallis contributes to the immersive experience of the set, though the focus for many collectors remains on the card's identity and gameplay role within the broader Magic: The Gathering landscape.
