Description
Released in 2017 as part of the Ixalan (XLN) set, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card features Tocatli Honor Guard, a White mana Human Soldier. Identified by card number 42, this Rare card is a key component for collectors building out the Ixalan base set. The creature has a mana value of two and boasts a power/toughness of 1/3, making it a resilient defensive presence on the battlefield. The card's unique rules text provides a specific strategic advantage: it prevents creatures entering the battlefield from causing abilities to trigger. This ability disrupts opponent strategies that rely on entry triggers, offering tactical depth beyond its printed stats. Sara Winters provides the artwork for this release, capturing the essence of the Sun Empire's military force. Collectors often seek out specific set codes like XLN to complete their library or to appreciate the card's design and mechanics. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector, the Tocatli Honor Guard offers both gameplay utility and collectible value within the Ixalan expansion.
