Loyal Sentry

Description

The Loyal Sentry foil from Magic: The Gathering’s Masters 25 set offers collectors a tangible piece of the 2018 tournament-legal era. As card number 22 in the A25 series, this Common creature card is printed with a premium foil finish, distinguishing it within the broader set for enthusiasts who prioritize aesthetic treatments alongside gameplay utility. The card depicts a Human Soldier with a mana cost of one white mana, making it an efficient unit for early-game strategies. Beyond its visual appeal, the Loyal Sentry is notable for its decisive rules text. When blocked by an opposing creature, this card’s ability triggers a mutual destruction effect: the Sentry destroys the blocking creature, but the Sentry itself is also destroyed in the process. This 'sacrifice' mechanic creates high-stakes moments during gameplay, appealing to players who enjoy tactical risk-and-reward dynamics. The flavor text hints at the character's unwavering dedication, reinforcing the thematic identity of the Soldier type. Collecting specific cards from the Masters 25 expansion allows hobbyists to complete set collections or curate specialized libraries focused on the game's history. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to complete your set or a new collector exploring the foundational mechanics of Magic: The Gathering, the Loyal Sentry provides both functional gameplay value and collector interest. Its straightforward design and impactful ability make it a staple for those interested in the strategic depth of the game's early expansions.
