Constable of the Realm

Description

Constable of the Realm is a creature card from the 2021 Magic: The Gathering Modern Horizons 2 set, identified by the set code MH2 and card number 10. This Uncommon Giant Soldier commands a mana cost of four generic mana and one white mana, resulting in a mana value of five. With a base power and toughness of 3/3, the card serves as a resilient presence on the battlefield, appealing to players who value sturdy defensive units in their decks. The card's primary appeal lies in its Renown 2 ability. When Constable of the Realm deals combat damage to a player, it gains two +1/+1 counters and becomes renowned, transforming into a significantly larger threat without requiring additional mana investment. This mechanic encourages aggressive play while rewarding successful attacks with lasting power. Furthermore, the card features a secondary triggered ability that activates whenever +1/+1 counters are placed on it. This effect allows the controller to exile up to one other target nonland permanent until the creature leaves the battlefield, providing a potent answer to opposing threats or utility permanents. Illustrated by Alexander Mokhov, this Magic: The Gathering trading card card embodies the strategic depth of the white color identity. Collectors of the Modern Horizons 2 expansion often seek out this card for its unique interaction between growth and removal capabilities. Whether building a midrange deck or a control strategy, the card offers a flexible tool for managing the board state. Its straightforward design and impactful rules text make it a recognizable piece of the Modern Horizons 2 catalog for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
