Battle Rampart

Description

Battle Rampart is a creature card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, released in 2019 as part of The List set. Carrying the catalog identifier BBD-165, this card represents a unique print run exclusive to that specific promotional series. The card is classified as a Wall, a subtype that imposes the defender keyword, preventing the creature from attacking opponents directly. The design of Battle Rampart balances defensive utility with aggressive potential. Its ability allows a player to tap the creature to grant haste to a target creature until the end of the turn. This interaction creates a dynamic where a static defender can temporarily enable a fast strike, offering strategic flexibility during gameplay. The mana cost of two generic mana and one red mana makes it accessible in decks built around the red color identity. For collectors, The List set holds a distinct place in Magic history. These cards were distributed exclusively through special promotional events and stores, never appearing in standard booster packs. This distribution method creates a specific niche for enthusiasts who track the release history of promotional materials. The BBD-165 designation helps collectors organize their inventory and verify the card's origin within the broader catalog of Magic expansions. Steve Prescott provided the artwork for this release, contributing to the visual identity of The List. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers from this set to complete their thematic collections or to preserve the history of promotional distribution. Battle Rampart serves as a tangible link to that era of Magic: The Gathering, appealing to those who value the game's rich history of unique printings and promotional exclusives.
