Obstinate Gargoyle: Flight When Modified
Obstinate Gargoyle is a common artifact creature from Modern Horizons 3 built around modification themes. It has flying as long as it’s modified, a condition that covers Equipment, Auras you control, and counters. That makes a 2/2 flier a reliable tempo piece in a deck that leans into enhancements, and the foil finish adds a sharp, eye catching shine for those in shop and trade circles.
In the lore of your games, this sturdy guardian sits watchful in the rafters, stubborn and ready to intervene as the situation requires. Its Persist ability adds a subtle layer of resilience: if it dies and does not have a -1/-1 counter, it returns to the battlefield under its owner s control with a -1/-1 counter on it, keeping pressure on the board and rewarding careful timing with modifications. Modern Horizons 3ensures this card slots neatly into a modular strategy that rewards planning and protection for your artifact army.
