This creature has vigilance as long as you control a Gate.
The Dimir agents watched from the shadows. "Eight hours, and I've yet to see him blink," Nefara hissed. "I suggest we find another way in."

Where it came from
Armory Guard was released in 2012 as part of the Return to Ravnica expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a common-rarity creature belonging to the Boros Legion, the card was designed to support the set's mechanical focus on the guild's aggressive, military-themed playstyle. The art, created by Greg Staples, features a heavily armored sentinel reflecting the urban, gothic fantasy aesthetic that defines the Ravnica plane, emphasizing the guild's role in maintaining order within the city-world.
The design of the card serves a functional purpose within limited play environments, offering a sturdy defensive presence typical of white-aligned creatures in the set. Staples, a prolific illustrator for the game, utilized a stark, high-contrast style to highlight the intricate plate armor of the soldier, which helped ground the card within the visual language of the Boros Legion. Upon its release, it was well-received by players as a reliable, foundational piece for drafting and deck-building, embodying the disciplined nature of its faction.
