Vault Guardsman

Description

The Vault Guardsman serves as a distinct entry in the 2026 Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Commander subset, identified by card number 612. As an Artifact Creature — Human Advisor, this card brings a unique mechanical flavor to the game, blending the strategic depth of Magic with the thematic elements of the Marvel universe. The card’s mana cost of {5}{W} and mana value of 6 reflect its role as a mid-to-late game presence, requiring significant resource allocation to cast effectively. A key feature of this product is its Convoke ability, which allows players to tap their own creatures to help pay for the spell’s cost, either reducing the generic mana requirement or contributing specific colors. This mechanic encourages board development and synergizes with strategies focused on creature deployment. Upon entering the battlefield, the Vault Guardsman exiles a target artifact or creature controlled by an opponent until it leaves play, offering a potent removal effect that can shift the momentum of a match. The card’s power and toughness of 3/4 provide a sturdy defensive presence, making it a resilient piece on the board. Designed by artist Ron Lemen, the visual presentation of this card aligns with the distinctive aesthetic of the Marvel Super Heroes set, appealing to fans of both Magic and Marvel. The Uncommon rarity designation makes it accessible for many collectors while still holding interest for those building specific Commander decks. Whether you are completing the MSC set or looking for a versatile artifact creature in your collection, the Vault Guardsman represents a compelling intersection of crossover lore and strategic gameplay.
