A Shield for the Table

Selfless Squire is a compact utility creature that converts incoming protection into board presence. With flash and a one two punch of prevention and growth, it plays well in reactive white shells where timing matters. Cast it on an opponent turn to stop a lethal hit or to negate a burn spell and watch the squire accumulate counters as the game tips in your favor.

From a lore angle the squire fits the set tone. They stand between the manor and its investigators, absorbing harm so others can act. In play the card rewards careful sequencing. Use it with life linking sources, damage redirection, or mass removal to convert prevented damage into a steadily expanding clock that remains relevant beyond the initial save.
