Ward Up with Dragon’s Disciple
Dragon’s Disciple emerges as a subtle yet impactful ally for any deck woven from the fabric of Dragon synergy. This Human Monk arrives on the battlefield with a defensive edge, often entering with a +1/+1 counter if you reveal a Dragon from your hand or already command the presence of a Dragon in play. Its 1/3 body balances resilience with modest offense, embodying the disciplined spirit of its namesake.
But the true value lies in the ward ability it grants to your Dragons. By imposing a ward cost of {1}, Dragon’s Disciple forces opponents to pay an additional price to target your mighty creatures with spells or abilities, providing a critical layer of protection. This card fits seamlessly alongside staples like Scion of Drakes or Goldspan Dragon, bolstering your Dragon tribe’s staying power on the board. For those building a control or midrange strategy with a Dragon core, Dragon’s Disciple offers tactical defense and incremental growth that can outlast many threats.
