About Scaleguard Sentinels

Scaleguard Sentinels, Creature — human soldier, designed by David Gaillet first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.50.

This card would be beneficial in a Dragon tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, where you have a high density of Dragon cards to consistently meet the additional cost requirement for Scaleguard Sentinels. While it provides a decent boost with the +1/+1 counter, there are potentially better options like Thunderbreak Regent or Stormbreath Dragon that offer more impactful abilities and synergies in Dragon-themed decks, making them more viable choices for competitive play.

Rules

02/25/15

If one of these spells is copied, the controller of the copy will get the “Dragon bonus” only if a Dragon card was revealed as an additional cost. The copy wasn’t cast, so whether you controlled a Dragon won’t matter.

02/25/15

If you don’t reveal a Dragon card from your hand, you must control a Dragon as you are finished casting the spell to get the bonus. For example, if you lose control of your only Dragon while casting the spell (because, for example, you sacrificed it to activate a mana ability), you won’t get the bonus.
