Boarded Window — Hold the Line
Boarded Window is a compact defensive artifact that pays for itself in stalls and attrition matchups. Boarded Window reduces the offensive bite of every creature attacking you by one power, which matters when every point counts against token swarms or an early aggro curve. Casting it for {3} fits easily into midrange shells and artifact suites where incremental advantage and tempo preservation are priorities.
The card also carries a built in fragility. At the beginning of each end step if you were dealt 4 or more damage this turn that condition exiles the artifact, so timing and sequencing matter. Use Boarded Window to buy a turn, stabilize the board, or buy time for lifegain and removal; experienced pilots will treat it as a situational plug that shifts combat math in their favor. Add it to sideboards or main decks that expect consistent small attacks.
