# Loyal Sentry Loyal Sentry represents an interesting artifact creature from Magic's earliest era, when the game was still establishing fundamental design principles. As a rare from Starter 1999, it occupies an unusual position in collector consciousness—it's neither from the iconic Limited Edition Alpha nor from the widely circulated core sets that followed. Collectors view this card primarily through the lens of set completion rather than individual appeal. The card's mechanical simplicity and modest power level mean it rarely commands attention on its own merits. Its rarity status makes it a necessary acquisition for dedicated Starter 1999 collectors, though availability and demand remain relatively modest compared to more prominent early Magic releases.
