Shell of the Cavern
Bedrock Tortoise is a practical anchor for green decks that want to transition from board stall to a steady win. The card grants hexproof to your creatures on your turn, which helps you protect key attackers and combo pieces while you set up. With a 0/6 body the tortoise itself trades poorly in offense but serves as a reliable blocker and a continuous protective engine for your team.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan play patterns this card rewards patient lines. The second ability makes high toughness creatures assign damage based on toughness which shifts combat math in your favor. Use Bedrock Tortoise to stabilize the early turns then press advantage with creatures that benefit from unusual damage assignment. The printed rules text is shown below for quick reference for deckbuilding and tournament play.
