Kaheera, the Orphanguard

Description

Kaheera, the Orphanguard is a legendary Cat Beast creature card released in the 2020 Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths expansion. Identified by card number 353, this rare card brings a distinct strategic layer to Magic: The Gathering through its companion mechanic. This ability allows players to place the card into their hand from outside the game for three mana, provided their starting deck consists entirely of Cat, Elemental, Nightmare, Dinosaur, or Beast cards. As a three-mana creature with three power and two toughness, Kaheera offers a solid early-game presence. Her static abilities enhance the board state significantly. She grants vigilance to herself and provides a +1/+1 bonus to every other creature you control that shares the specific creature types mentioned in her companion requirement. This synergy makes her a focal point for tribal strategies built around these five creature types. Collectors value this card for its intricate design and gameplay utility within the Ikoria block. The card was illustrated by Ryan Pancoast, whose work contributes to the visual identity of the set. For investors and hobbyists, completing a full run of Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths requires securing this rare card. It serves as a key component for those looking to build competitive decks centered on the companion mechanic or those who appreciate the thematic depth of beast-focused archetypes. Whether you are building a library for competitive play or expanding your personal collection, Kaheera represents a significant addition for any enthusiast of the game's complex mechanics and lore.
