## Description

Elite Scaleguard is a white Human Soldier creature card from the 2021 Commander set in Magic: The Gathering, identified by card number 91 and set code C21. Designed by Steve Prescott, this Uncommon card enters the battlefield with a mana cost of four generic mana and one white mana. Its five mana value positions it as a mid-game presence in Commander decks that favor white-aligned strategies.

The card's abilities focus on board control and survivability. Upon entering play, it bolsters two, allowing the controller to place +1/+1 counters on their weakest creature. Additionally, whenever a creature with +1/+1 counters attacks, Elite Scaleguard can tap a target creature controlled by the defending player. This utility makes it a valuable piece for collectors building themed Commander decks or those who appreciate the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering's design. For enthusiasts of the Commander format, adding this card to a collection supports both gameplay diversity and the broader appreciation of the game's evolving mechanics.
