Unyielding Gatekeeper

Description

Unyielding Gatekeeper (35p) is a Rare promo card released in 2024 as part of the Murders at Karlov Manor Promos set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This white creature, classified as an Elephant Cleric, carries a mana cost of {1}{W} and possesses a power and toughness of 3/2. The card was illustrated by Borja Pindado, whose art defines the visual identity of this release. The card features the Disguise mechanic, allowing players to cast it face down for {3} as a 2/2 creature with ward {2}. Turning it face up requires paying its disguise cost, which triggers a powerful effect: you exile another target nonland permanent. If you controlled that permanent, it returns to the battlefield tapped. If an opponent controlled it, they create a 2/2 white and blue Detective creature token instead. This dual outcome makes Unyielding Gatekeeper a strategic tool in the game, offering flexibility in how it interacts with the board state. The 2024 Murders at Karlov Manor Promos release includes Unyielding Gatekeeper, a Rare Creature — Elephant Cleric card numbered 35p. Its unique status as a promo from the Murders at Karlov Manor Promos set, combined with its distinct gameplay mechanics, makes it a notable addition for enthusiasts of the format. The card's design and rules text reflect the creative direction of the 2024 release, providing a tangible piece of the game's evolving history.
