Coppercoat Vanguard

Description

Coppercoat Vanguard is an Uncommon creature card released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set March of the Machine: The Aftermath. Identified as card number 51 in the March of the Machine: The Aftermath (MAT) set, this foil version appeals to collectors who appreciate the enhanced visual appeal of foil treatments on less common rarity cards. The card features a Human Soldier type line, a mana cost of {1}{W}, and a power/toughness of 2/2. From a gameplay perspective, Coppercoat Vanguard serves as a resilient early-game unit. Its primary ability grants +1/+0 to other Humans you control while also providing ward {1}. This means that whenever an opponent targets it with a spell or ability, they must pay {1} to counter it or lose the effect, making it a tricky target for removal spells. This defensive mechanic encourages players to build around Human synergies, protecting the Vanguard while boosting the rest of the board. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out foil versions of Uncommon cards because they offer a distinct aesthetic without the high price point associated with rare or mythic rare foils. The foil finish on Coppercoat Vanguard provides a shimmering texture that stands out in a deck box or collection display. As part of the March of the Machine: The Aftermath expansion, this card contributes to the set's broader narrative and mechanical themes, offering a tangible piece of the game's evolving history. Whether you are building a Human tribal deck or simply adding to a diverse Magic: The Gathering collection, this card offers both strategic utility and collectible value.
