Rhox Bodyguard

Description

Released in 2009 as part of the Conflux set, the Rhox Bodyguard (card number 122) is a distinct foil variant within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Sal Villagran, this white-green creature card features the types Rhino, Monk, and Soldier, making it a thematic standout in the set. The card’s mechanical identity centers on the Exalted keyword, which empowers the Rhox Bodyguard and any other attacking creature when it attacks alone by granting +1/+1 until end of turn. Additionally, the card provides a defensive benefit upon entering the battlefield, allowing the player to gain 3 life. For collectors focusing on the Conflux expansion, this foil version adds visual appeal to the set due to its shimmering finish. The card’s mana cost of five (three generic, one green, and one white) positions it in the mid-game range, appealing to players who value board presence and life total advantages. Whether you are building a themed deck or expanding your library of rare cards, understanding the Rhox Bodyguard’s dual-trigger mechanics is key to appreciating its role in the 2009 era of Magic: The Gathering design.
