Description
The Elite Scaleguard from Magic: The Gathering's 2015 Fate Reforged expansion offers collectors a distinct glimpse into the game's Khans of Tarkir block era. Illustrated by Steve Prescott, this card number 12 in the set is a Human Soldier creature that embodies the disciplined military theme of the set. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic appeal, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts who appreciate the visual quality of rare prints. In terms of gameplay, this card serves as a strategic tool for players focusing on white mana decks. Upon entering the battlefield, it allows the controller to bolster two, strengthening their existing creatures. Furthermore, it provides a unique tactical advantage by tapping a target creature controlled by the defending player whenever a creature with a +1/+1 counter attacks. This interaction makes it a valuable addition to any library built around token strategies or creature-heavy archetypes. For collectors, the Elite Scaleguard represents a key component of the Fate Reforged catalog. Whether you are looking to complete your set of uncommons or add a versatile card to your collection, this foil version stands out for its clarity and finish. ## Sources
