Wings of Vigilance
Guardian of the Great Door is a compact, efficient finisher for midrange white decks in Lost Caverns of Ixalan. The card gives you a 4 4 flyer that presses both offense and board presence while demanding a tactical commitment up front because you must tap four untapped artifacts, creatures, and or lands you control as an additional cost to cast it. That payment makes it a play that often lands late after you have built a board and want to convert value into air superiority.
This Light Play Foil copy is a good fit for cube lists or commander tables where a repeatable flying threat matters. The Angel’s printed text rewards board development and sequencing rather than raw card advantage so keep tempo and incremental gains in mind. In lore the Core was sealed by the Deep Gods and angels stand as its guardians. On the battlefield the card performs the same role by closing out games once you have the resources to pay its entrance toll.
