Description
Cavern’s Bedrock Sentinel
Bedrock Tortoise is a dependable inclusion for any green midrange or creature based deck that values damage prevention and combat math. Bedrock Tortoise gives your creatures hexproof during your turn so opponents must find ways around that protection before they can trade or sweep. It also flips how damage assigns for creatures whose toughness exceeds their power so walls and slow creatures punch above their weight when blocking or attacking.
On-table the card reads like a quiet engine. Bedrock Tortoise is best deployed where you can leverage static protection and force your opponent into awkward blocking lines. The 0 6 body absorbs early attacks and anchors a defensive plan while enabling favorable trades through its toughness based damage assignment. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the tortoise is carved into temple foundations as both shield and measure of endurance.
