Riverguard's Reflexes

Description

As a common white instant, this card offers a straightforward tactical advantage for players building their decks. The card features a foil finish, adding a visual distinction that appeals to collectors who appreciate the shimmering treatment on common rarity cards. Riverguard's Reflexes has a mana cost of one white mana and one generic mana, resulting in a mana value of two. In gameplay, it targets a creature to give it +2/+2 power and toughness, grants it first strike until the end of the turn, and untaps that creature. This combination of effects makes it a versatile tool for both aggressive pushes and recovering board presence. The flavor text, attributed to Cenna, a ferry pilot, hints at the protective nature of the riverguard, suggesting that their services require a significant commitment. Designed by Lucas Graciano, this card represents the aesthetic and mechanical identity of the Lorwyn Eclipsed release. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers to complete their set collections, and this foil variant provides an attractive option for those aiming to finish the white subset or the general set. The clean white border and standard layout are consistent with the set's design language, ensuring it fits seamlessly into any organized collection. Whether you are looking to add a functional card to your deck or a foil common to your display, this product offers a tangible piece of the Lorwyn Eclipsed era. The card’s simplicity and utility make it a staple for many players, while the foil treatment elevates its desirability for hobbyists who value presentation alongside function.
