Fortress Kin-Guard

First printed in Tarkir: Dragonstorm (2025)

Fortress Kin-Guard

Creature — Dog Soldier

When this creature enters, it endures 1. (Put a +1/+1 counter on it or create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token.)

All through the night, the ancestor whispered of ancient battles fought from this very rampart atop Arashin City.

Legality

Rulings (3)

  • If a noncreature permanent is instructed to endure, the effect is the same. You can put +1/+1 counters on that permanent or create a Spirit token.
  • You choose whether to put +1/+1 counters on the creature or create a Spirit token as the ability that includes the endure instruction is resolving. No player may take actions between the time you choose and the time that counters are added or tokens are created.
  • If you can’t put +1/+1 counters on the creature for any reason as an endure ability resolves (for example, if the creature is no longer on the battlefield), you’ll just create a Spirit token.
