Guardian of the Plains
Meet the Alabaster Host Intercessor, a stalwart defender in the epic saga of March of the Machine. This Phyrexian Samurai does not just enter the battlefield; he brings with him a tactical edge that can turn the tide of any skirmish. With a robust power of 3 and toughness of 4, he stands ready to protect your life total while simultaneously exerting pressure on your opponent.

His Plainscycling ability also provides versatility, letting you sift through your deck for the perfect Plains card if the moment calls for it. Whether you're fortifying your defenses or making a statement in a creature-heavy meta, this card is a strategic gem that should not be overlooked. Embrace the lore of the Phyrexians and let the Intercessor guide your forces to victory!
