Released in 1999 as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion, Fountain Watch is a five-mana white creature card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Jeff Miracola and numbered 19 in the set, this Rare card functions as a Human Cleric with a power and toughness of 2/4. Its primary mechanical value lies in its static ability, which grants shroud to all artifacts and enchantments you control. This effect effectively shields your chosen permanents from being targeted by opposing spells or abilities, offering a protective layer that complements the strategic depth of the Mercadian Masques era. As a single-colored white card, it integrates seamlessly into decks focused on artifact synergy and defensive control. Collectors appreciate this card for its historical significance within the Mercadian Masques block and its unique interaction with artifact-centric gameplay. The card remains a notable piece for enthusiasts of the game's early 2000s design philosophy, where mana costs and targeted protection played pivotal roles in deck construction. Whether used for nostalgic collecting or exploring the strategic nuances of the format, Fountain Watch represents a distinct aspect of Magic's evolving mechanics.
