Shell of the Shallows
Aegis Turtle is a compact defensive option for tempo oriented blue decks and a tidy addition to any Foundations collection. This near mint print presents the plain but useful 0 5 body that stalls early attackers and buys time for your draw or bounce plays. The art captures a heavily plated turtle gliding through teal surf, which mirrors the card role as a steady blocker rather than a proactive threat.
From a gameplay angle Aegis Turtle slots into early turns where you need to preserve life total and set up interaction. The card has no activated or triggered abilities printed and functions as pure board insurance, which makes it dependable in limited environments and budget constructed builds. If you play control or a tempo shell, this Foundations print is a reliable filler that also carries a small piece of Ikoria lore about adaptive armor.
