Charge with the Hexbane Tortoise!
Meet the Hexbane Tortoise, your new green guardian from the Dominaria United set. This sturdy creature brings a unique combination of resilience and strategy to your deck. With its Ward 2 ability, this tortoise becomes a real headache for your opponents, forcing them to think twice before targeting it. Not only does it provide a solid 3/2 body, but it also adds a layer of protection, making it difficult for your foes to remove. The beauty of this card lies in its versatility; it can withstand spells while also enabling your creative plays.
But that’s not all. The Enlist ability offers exciting tactical options.
