Guardian Project

Description

The 2019 Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Allegiance Guardian Project foil card (card #130) stands as a distinct addition to any trading card game collection. Designed by Chris Rallis, this rare enchantment captures the strategic depth of the set while offering a visually striking foil finish that appeals to both casual players and serious hobbyists. Guardian Project is a green enchantment with a mana cost of {3}{G} and a mana value of 4. Its gameplay revolves around a powerful card advantage engine: whenever a nontoken creature you control enters the battlefield, you have the opportunity to draw a card, provided the creature does not share a name with another creature you control or a creature card in your graveyard. This mechanic rewards players for building diverse, non-redundant creature decks, making it a versatile tool in various deck archetypes. The card’s flavor text highlights the Simic combine’s philosophy, noting that their strength arises from diversity, which aligns perfectly with its mechanical design. The Guardian Project card, with its rare status and foil treatment, holds particular interest for those focusing on set completion or seeking high-quality examples of Chris Rallis’s illustration work. Whether you are building a themed collection, looking for a key component for gameplay, or simply appreciating the artistry of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card offers enduring appeal.
