About Elite Scaleguard

Elite Scaleguard, Creature — human soldier, designed by Steve Prescott first released in January 2015 in the set Fate Reforged and was printed exactly in 9 different ways. It see play in 1 format: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.14.

A deck focused on +1/+1 counters and aggressive creature strategies, such as a White Weenie or a Selesnya Aggro deck, would benefit from including Elite Scaleguard. While it provides a nice boost with bolster 2 and can help control the opponent's creatures during attacks, there are potentially better options like Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit or Abzan Falconer that offer more versatile abilities and synergies in similar decks. Elite Scaleguard could see play as a budget option or as a situational tech card in certain metagames.
