Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Baird, Steward of Argive is a compact white defense piece that best supports control and taxation-style tempo decks, buying time while you develop your board. A 2/4 with vigilance for four mana, it can both block immediately and still help pressure planeswalkers or chip in later, while its attack tax makes every enemy creature cost an extra mana to swing at you or your walkers. That effect is especially punishing in multiplayer Commander, where it can deter wide boards and force awkward combat math. Pair Baird with other “propaganda” effects like Ghostly Prison, Windborn Muse, or Archangel of Tithes to stack taxes and make attacking nearly impossible. It also works well in tokens or planeswalker shells, where you want a resilient body that protects your board state without needing to hold up mana every turn.
