Soar and Explore with Cloister Gargoyle
Cloister Gargoyle brings a touch of steadfast vigilance and aerial prowess to any Adventures in the Forgotten Realms deck. This artifact creature enters the battlefield with a dungeon crawl twist, allowing you to venture into the dungeon as it arrives. That initial step into one of Magic’s iconic dungeon mechanics is more than thematic; it sets up the potential for this gargoyle to transform from a grounded sentinel into a fearsome flyer. The 0/4 base toughness makes it a sturdy blocker, ideal for early defense while your dungeon exploration advances.
Once you've completed any dungeon, Cloister Gargoyle’s stats jump impressively with a +3/+0 boost and gain flying, shifting the card from a defensive wall into a threatening aerial attacker. This synergy rewards patient dungeon crawling and works well alongside cards that support or accelerate dungeon progression, such as Dungeon Delver or Roguish Scoundrel. In foil and light-play condition, this uncommon gem is not only a tactical asset but also a visually striking addition to your collection, reflecting the eerie, gothic atmosphere of the Forgotten Realms.
