Skies Cleared by Protector of the Wastes
Protector of the Wastes arrives as a flying 5/5 that demands attention from the moment it touches the battlefield. With a cast cost of {4}{W}{W} and Flying, it trades speed for a clean board impact: when this creature enters or becomes monstrous, you exile up to two target artifacts and or enchantments controlled by different players. The activated ability to pay {4}{W} to Monstrosity 3 gives you a reliable route to trigger that exile effect while also turning the dragon into a bigger clock on the battlefield.
As a practical inclusion in midrange and control command decks, Protector of the Wastes functions as removal that bypasses indestructible and conventional answers. It pairs well with effects that grant counters or haste so you can flip the Monstrosity trigger at instant speed or on your terms. This Near Mint English copy from Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm is ideal for play or collection and retains the set character while offering a versatile answer to persistent artifacts and enchantments.
