Description
Shell For the Win
Bedrock Tortoise offers a defensive anchor that changes how combat calculations play out. On your turn it grants hexproof to your creatures, which protects key attackers from targeted removal while you push damage. The card also changes damage assignment for high toughness creatures so they assign damage equal to their toughness rather than their power, which turns walls and other stout creatures into reliable blockers and surprising attackers.
This Bedrock Tortoise from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan works well in builds that favor wide boards or tall creatures. The 0 6 body is a true bulwark and the printed abilities reflect a pragmatic design choice rather than a flashy one. Use it to shore up a tempo window, protect a combo piece, or flip combat math in midrange matchups.
