Disciplined Duelist (Foil) (SNC)

Disciplined duelist
Casting Cost: {G} {u} {w}
Card type: Creature - Human Citizen
Power/Toughness: 2/1
Card Text:

• Double Strike
• Disciplined duelist Enters The Battlefield with a Shield Counter on It. (If it would be Deal Damage or Destroyed, Remove A Shield Counter from It Instead.)
  Flavour text:
• Brokers agents defend their charges by All Means available, from intricate logic to blunt force trauma.
  Artist: Josu Hernaiz

Strengths:

• Combat Efficiency: Double Strike on a 2/1 body can be a potent offensive threat.
• Resilience: The Shield Counter Provides An Extra Layer of Protection, Making It Harder For Opponents to Remove This Creature.

Weaknesses:

• Fragility: Even with the shield counter, ITS 1 Toughness makes it vulnerable to -1/-1 effects, Exile, and other Forms of Non-Damage Removal.
• Mana Requirements: The three-colored mana cost may be restrictive in decks without a strong mana base.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Could find a place in Bant (Green-Blue-White) aggro or midrange decks that can make use of its combat abilities.
• Also a potential include in any citizen-tribal deck or deck focusing on counters.

Flavor and Art:

• The Flavor Text and Art Depict The Creature As A Well-Rounded Defender, Skilled in Both Combat and Strategy, which Ties in Nicely With Its Mechanics.

Overall impression:

• Disciplined duelist is a potentially strong card in the right deck, sacrificial both combat capabilities and resilience. Its Mana Cost Might Restrict It To More Specific Three-Color Decks, But in Those Decks, It Could Serve As a Solid Addition.
