Regal Predator of Westgate Skies
Westgate Regent asserts its dominion over the battlefield with a blend of airborne menace and insidious growth. As a 4/4 vampire with flying, this creature already demands respect above ground, but its ward ability—requiring an opponent to discard a card to block or target it—ensures it rarely faces opposition unscathed. The Regent’s strength compounds with every successful strike, piling on +1/+1 counters each time it deals combat damage to a player. This scaling threat echoes the relentless hunger of vampiric nobility, thriving off the lifeblood of its foes.
Ideal in decks focused on incremental advantage and attrition, Westgate Regent synergizes well with sacrifice outlets or cards that benefit from counters. Its ward ensures it dodges removal or blockers with ease, while its growing presence on the board pressures opponents into difficult defensive choices. A subtle powerhouse from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, this card rewards strategic patience with escalating dominance as the game unfolds.
