About Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate

Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate, Legendary creature — angel wizard, designed by Wayne Reynolds first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.35.

Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate would be a great addition to a control or tempo deck in Magic: the Gathering, especially one focused on building a full party to take advantage of its ability. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Linvala's versatility in providing protection to your creatures with hexproof or indestructible can be a game-changer in certain situations, making it a strong contender for inclusion in decks looking to control the board and protect key pieces.

Rules

09/25/20

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities (such as equip) are activated abilities and will have a colon in their reminder text. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected.

09/25/20

If a creature has more than one party creature type, and there are multiple ways to count that creature that could result in a different number of creatures in your party, the highest such number is used. For example, if you control a Cleric and a Cleric Wizard, the number of creatures in your party is two. You can’t choose to have it be just one by counting the Cleric Wizard first as a Cleric.

09/25/20

In a multiplayer game, if you leave the game after Linvala’s middle ability resolves but before your next turn begins, its effect lasts until your next turn would have begun. It neither expires immediately nor lasts indefinitely.

09/25/20

Linvala’s middle ability won’t trigger at all if you don’t have a full party as your combat phase begins. It won’t affect the target if you don’t have a full party as it resolves. The number of creatures in your party may change between these times, however.

09/25/20

Some cards refer to you having a “full party.” This is true if the number of creatures in your party is four.
