Shell-Shocked Giant with Vigilant Defense
The Ancient Adamantoise stands as a resilient bulwark in any Magic deck, especially for players eager to anchor their board with a massive presence. Costing {5}{G}{G}, this Mythic creature demands a significant mana investment but rewards you with an imposing 8/20 body paired with vigilance and ward 3, making it difficult to remove and able to attack or block without tapping. Its unique ability to retain damage through cleanup steps means it remains vulnerable but unyielding, forcing opponents to calculate each strike carefully.
Beyond sheer toughness, Ancient Adamantoise serves as a protective shield by redirecting damage dealt to you and your other permanents onto itself. When it eventually falls, it leaves behind a trove of value, exiling itself to create ten tapped Treasure tokens. This card offers a clear blend of defense and resource generation that fits seamlessly into green's identity within the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY collection.
