About Ral's Vanguard Playtest

Ral's Vanguard Playtest, Vanguard, designed by David McDarby first released in Nov, 2019 in the set Mystery Booster Playtest Cards 2019 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card would benefit a spell-heavy deck that focuses on quickly casting instant and sorcery spells to gain card advantage and deal extra damage. While Ral's Vanguard Playtest offers unique advantages, there are potentially better cards like Baral, Chief of Compliance or Narset, Parter of Veils that provide more consistent and powerful effects for spell-based strategies. Whether Ral's Vanguard Playtest should see play would depend on the specific synergies and strategies of the deck it's included in, as it offers a different playstyle compared to other options.

Rules

Vanguard cards can be used only in a format that allows them (such as Limited events using the Mystery Booster set). Each player may begin the game with up to one vanguard card they own in the command zone. This card doesn’t count towards the minimum deck size.

Your starting and maximum hand size is modified by the vanguard as noted. Your starting life total is similarly modified.

Your starting deck includes only those cards that will be shuffled to become your library. It doesn’t include your sideboard or any other cards that begin the game outside the game.
