Regal Predator of Westgate

The Westgate Regent embodies the dark allure and growing menace of vampire nobility in the murky alleys of the Forgotten Realms. A 4/4 flyer that demands you discard a card to bypass its ward, this creature punishes opponents who dare to trade blows with it. Each strike against a player not only wounds but empowers the Regent, adding +1/+1 counters that reflect its hunger and increasing dominance over the battlefield. Its synergy shines in decks that can reliably fuel the discard cost or capitalize on +1/+1 counter themes, making it a threatening midrange option.

Perfectly suited for vampire tribal builds or black-centric strategies that leverage incremental growth and evasion, Westgate Regent pairs naturally with cards that manipulate the graveyard or enhance flying creatures. Its resilience and scaling offensive potential make it a staple for players who prefer attrition over outright aggression, turning every combat step into a test of endurance and resource management.
