Midnight Guard

Description

The Midnight Guard stands as a reliable white mana creature in the 2014 Magic: The Gathering M15 set. Cataloged as card number 20, this Common rarity card depicts a vigilant Human Soldier tasked with keeping watch. The card features artwork by Jason A. Engle, capturing the defensive nature of the unit. In gameplay, the Midnight Guard costs three mana to cast, requiring two generic mana and one white mana. It enters the battlefield as a 2/3 creature, offering a solid body for its mana cost. The card’s most distinctive feature is its triggered ability. Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, the Midnight Guard untaps. This mechanic allows players to reuse its ability throughout a single turn, providing flexibility in board control and mana acceleration. Collectors often seek out this card for its straightforward design and consistent utility in Commander and limited formats. The flavor text hints at the constant vigilance required of the guard, quoting Olgard of the Skiltfolk. Owning a copy of the Midnight Guard adds a functional piece of Magic history to any collection. Whether you are building a new deck or expanding your M15 roster, this card represents a key component of the set's white mana strategy.
