Slow Shell, Solid Hold
Bedrock Tortoise is a deliberate board anchor that rewards a patient game plan. On your turn it grants hexproof to your creatures, which turns ordinary attacks into low risk advances and protects key blockers from targeted removal. The extended art emphasizes the tortoise's burden of ancient stonework and makes it an obvious choice for decks that want a resilient defensive layer while they build advantage.
In creature combat the tortoise shifts how damage is assigned for beefy defenders. Any creature you control whose toughness exceeds its power assigns damage equal to its toughness. That changes trade math and favors walls, large defenders and creatures built around soaking hits. Bedrock Tortoise plays well in green midrange shells that value long games and stable boards, and it slots into sideboards against sweepers and burn heavy matchups.
