Pippin, Guard of the Citadel is a legendary creature card with a casting cost of {W}{U}. This card represents Peregrin Took, also known as Pippin, who played a role in the defense of Minas Tirith in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.

• Vigilance: Pippin has the vigilance ability, which means it doesn't tap when attacking, allowing it to both attack and block in the same turn.

• Ward 1: Pippin also has ward 1, which is a protective ability. If an opponent targets Pippin with a spell or ability, they must pay an additional 1 mana, of any color, to target it. This makes Pippin more difficult to remove.

• Protection Granting Ability: Pippin has an activated ability that allows you to tap it and choose another target creature you control. The chosen creature gains protection from the card type of your choice until the end of the turn. This means that the chosen creature becomes immune to being blocked, targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or equipped by anything of the specified card type for the remainder of the turn. This flexible ability can be used strategically to protect your creatures from specific threats.

The artwork by Martina Fackova captures the essence of Pippin as a courageous and protective figure during the defense of Minas Tirith.
