Description
The Stronghold Confessor stands as a versatile black creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originating from the landmark 2018 Dominaria expansion. Designed by Igor Kieryluk, this Common card (number 105) brings a unique tactical edge to deck-building strategies. As a one-mana Human Cleric, it offers immediate board presence while its printed text introduces two distinct keywords: menace and kicker. Menace prevents opponents from blocking the creature with just one attacker, forcing them to commit resources to neutralize it. The kicker ability allows players to pay an additional {3} to enhance its impact significantly. When kicked, the Stronghold Confessor enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters, transforming from a modest 1/1 body into a resilient threat that demands attention. Collectors of the Dominaria set often seek this card to complete their base collection or to utilize its flexible mechanics in various formats. The interplay between its low mana cost and high potential upside makes it a staple example of efficient creature design in Magic: The Gathering. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply assembling a comprehensive Dominaria binder, the Stronghold Confessor represents a solid addition to any library. This card remains a recognizable piece of the Dominaria era, celebrated for its clever balance of risk and reward on the battlefield.
