# Honor Guard Honor Guard is a straightforward common from Seventh Edition that exemplifies white's protective philosophy in Magic. The card offers a modest defensive ability—preventing damage to creatures—that appeals to players building defensive strategies or token-heavy decks. Collectors typically view it as a functional piece of Magic's core set history rather than a sought-after card. Its commonality means copies are abundant and inexpensive. The card's main appeal lies in completing Seventh Edition sets or representing a particular era of Magic design. For most collectors, Honor Guard serves as a filler card rather than a centerpiece, though completionists value having clean copies to round out their collections.
