Kozilek's Sentinel

Description

Kozilek's Sentinel is a notable card from the 2015 Magic: The Gathering Battle for Zendikar set, identified by the BFZ set code and card number 129. As a Common rarity card, it serves as a foundational piece for players and collectors focusing on the Eldrazi theme. The card is a Creature — Eldrazi Drone with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a power/toughness of 1/4. Its most distinctive feature is the Devoid mechanic, which gives the card a colorless color identity despite its red mana cost. This allows the Sentinel to interact effectively with colorless-based strategies. The card's ability triggers whenever you cast a colorless spell, granting it +1/+0 until end of turn, making it a flexible threat in the mid-game. Designed by Raymond Swanland, this card is a staple for those building decks around the Eldrazi or colorless archetypes introduced in the Zendikar block. Collectors often seek out specific printings from Battle for Zendikar to complete their set collections or to acquire cards for competitive play. The Sentinel represents the encroaching presence of the Eldrazi on Zendikar, fitting into the narrative of the set's storyline. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector, adding this card to your Magic: The Gathering collection provides both strategic utility and thematic depth. The card's straightforward design and powerful effect make it a recognizable element of the 2015 era of the trading card game.
