# Elite Scaleguard Elite Scaleguard represents a straightforward defensive creature from Commander 2016's dragon-focused strategies. Collectors view this uncommon primarily through the lens of casual play rather than competitive appeal. The card's modest power and toughness, combined with its scaling ability tied to dragon count, makes it a role-player in limited formats and casual decks rather than a standout piece. Most collectors pursuing Commander 2016 material focus on the set's marquee dragons and legendary creatures instead. The nonfoil version sees minimal collector demand, as the card lacks the prestige or mechanical innovation that drives secondary market interest. It remains a functional filler card rather than a sought-after variant.
