Maritime Guard⁣ - Magic 2011⁣ (Common)⁣ [63]

Maritime Guard is a 1/3 Merfolk Soldier for just {1}{U}, offering decent early-game defence and the ability to block larger creatures. Its low mana cost makes it suitable for tempo decks that aim to establish board presence while maintaining mana for counterspells. However, its offensive capability is limited, so it’s best used to protect more aggressive threats.
