Pentarch Ward

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Iconic Masters set, Pentarch Ward is a foil common enchantment aura that offers strategic flexibility in deck construction. Identified as card number 27 with the set code IMA, this card provides a unique mechanism for players to adapt their board state dynamically. The card features artwork by Dany Orizio, adding a polished visual finish to the foil treatment. As an enchantment aura with a mana cost of {2}{W}, Pentarch Ward requires three mana to cast. Its primary function activates upon entering the battlefield, allowing the controller to choose a color. This choice determines the protection granted to the enchanted creature, granting it protection from that specific color. Notably, this protection effect does not remove the Aura itself, ensuring the creature retains the defensive benefit without losing the attached enchantment. Additionally, when Pentarch Ward enters, the controller draws a card, providing immediate card advantage. Collectors and players value this card for its ability to interact with various board states without committing to a single defensive strategy. The foil finish makes it a visually distinct addition to any collection of Magic: The Gathering trading cards. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set, Pentarch Ward represents a solid choice for its efficient mana cost and dual benefit of protection and drawing power.
