Beregond of the Guard

Description

Beregond of the Guard, card number 411 in the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset, brings a distinct flavor of Middle-earth strategy to Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Campbell White, this foil release captures the essence of the White mana color identity, appealing to collectors who appreciate both the literary source material and the tactical depth of the Commander format. As a legendary Human Soldier, the card serves as a pivotal piece for decks focused on tribal synergies, particularly those built around the Human creature type. The strategic value of Beregond of the Guard lies in its ability to amplify board presence. When this card or another Human you control enters the battlefield, it triggers an effect that grants all your creatures +1/+1 and vigilance until the end of turn. This mechanism rewards aggressive, multi-Human strategies, allowing players to swing for significant damage while maintaining defensive capabilities. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a premium aesthetic quality, reflecting light in a way that highlights the card's rarity within the set. Integrating this card into a collection offers more than just gameplay utility; it connects owners to the rich narrative tapestry of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legacies. Beregond of the Guard stands out as a functional and thematic addition, suitable for those looking to complete the Commander subset or enhance their White-based Human decks.
