4/4

Vigilance, lifelink
When Aragorn enters, you become the monarch.
Whenever Aragorn attacks, up to one target creature can't block this turn. If you're the monarch, creatures can't block this turn.
When Aragorn, King of Gondor's last ability triggers, you can choose not to target a creature, probably because you're the monarch and just want creatures to be unable to block this turn. However, if you do choose a target, and that target is illegal at the time the ability tries to resolve, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. Creatures will still be able to block this turn, even if you're the monarch.

The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward. As a player becomes the monarch, the current monarch (if any) ceases being the monarch.

There are two inherent triggered abilities associated with being the monarch. These triggered abilities have no source and are controlled by the player who was the monarch at the time the abilities triggered. The full texts of these abilities are "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card" and "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch."

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.

If the monarch leaves the game during another player's turn, that player becomes the monarch. If the monarch leaves the game during their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.

If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn't resolve. In most cases, the controller of the attacking creature will still become the monarch as it is likely their turn.

When your commander deals combat damage to a player, if there is no monarch, you become the monarch.
At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card.

1 Bastion Protector
Bastion Protector

Creature — Human Soldier

3/3

Commander creatures you control get +2/+2 and have indestructible.
A "commander creature" is a permanent that's both someone's commander and a creature.

Bastion Protector's ability applies to any commander creature you control, whether you own it or not.

Bastion Protector's ability doesn't apply to commanders that aren't currently creatures.
1 Beregond of the Guard
1 Boromir, Gondor's Hope
1 Champions of Minas Tirith
Champions of Minas Tirith

Creature — Human Soldier

4/6

When this creature enters, you become the monarch.
At the beginning of combat on each opponent's turn, if you're the monarch, that opponent may pay , where X is the number of cards in their hand. If they don't, they can't attack you this combat.
An opponent who chooses not to pay for Champions of Minas Tirith's last ability can still attack planeswalkers you control or battles you're protecting.

The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward. As a player becomes the monarch, the current monarch (if any) ceases being the monarch.

1 Combat Celebrant
Combat Celebrant

Creature — Human Warrior

4/1

If this creature hasn't been exerted this turn, you may exert it as it attacks. When you do, untap all other creatures you control and after this phase, there is an additional combat phase. (An exerted creature won't untap during your next untap step.)
Combat Celebrant's ability untaps all of your creatures, not just the ones that are attacking.

Untapping an attacking creature doesn't remove it from combat.

There's no main phase between your combat phases, so you'll have no opportunity to cast spells or activate abilities that could only be cast any time you could cast a sorcery. For example, you won't be able to cast another creature or equip Equipment between combats.

If you exert Combat Celebrant, you get an additional combat phase even if Combat Celebrant doesn't survive the first combat phase.

If you exert multiple Combat Celebrants in one combat phase, you'll have that many additional combat phases, but all of your creatures are untapped only during the current combat phase. You'll need to exert the Combat Celebrants one at a time, in multiple combat phases, to untap your attacking creatures and attack with them in each combat step.

You can't exert a creature unless an effect allows you to do so. Similar effects that "tap and freeze" a creature (such as that of Decision Paralysis) don't exert that creature.

If an exerted creature is already untapped during your next untap step (most likely because it had vigilance or an effect untapped it), exert's effect preventing it from untapping expires without having done anything.

If you gain control of another player's creature until end of turn and exert it, it will untap during that player's untap step.

All cards in the Amonkhet set that let you exert a creature let you do so as you declare it as an attacking creature, as do some of the cards in the Hour of Devastation set. You can't do so later in combat, and creatures put onto the battlefield attacking can't be exerted. Any abilities that trigger on exerting an attacking creature will resolve before blockers are declared.
1 Dearly Departed
Dearly Departed

Creature — Spirit

5/5

Flying
As long as this creature is in your graveyard, each Human creature you control enters with an additional +1/+1 counter on it.
The effect is cumulative. Human creatures you control will enter with a +1/+1 counter for each Dearly Departed in your graveyard.

In most cases, when determining whether a creature entering under your control should get a +1/+1 counter, you'll simply look at what the creature will looklike on the battlefield. You'll consider any effects affecting a creature entering under your control.
1 Denethor, Stone Seer
Denethor, Stone Seer

Legendary Creature — Human Noble

1/3

When Denethor enters, scry 2.
, , Sacrifice Denethor: Target player becomes the monarch. Denethor deals 3 damage to any target.

If the monarch leaves the game during another player's turn, that player becomes the monarch. If the monarch leaves the game during their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.

If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn't resolve. In most cases, the controller of the attacking creature will still become the monarch as it is likely their turn.
1 Erkenbrand, Lord of Westfold
Erkenbrand, Lord of Westfold

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier

3/3

Whenever Erkenbrand or another Human you control enters, creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.
Erkenbrand, Lord of Westfold's triggered ability affects only creatures you control at the time it resolves. Any creatures that come under your control later in the turn won't be affected.
1 Faramir, Steward of Gondor
Faramir, Steward of Gondor

Legendary Creature — Human Noble

2/2

Whenever a legendary creature you control with mana value 4 or greater enters, you become the monarch.
At the beginning of your end step, if you're the monarch, create two 1/1 white Human Soldier creature tokens.
The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward. As a player becomes the monarch, the current monarch (if any) ceases being the monarch.

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.

If the monarch leaves the game during another player's turn, that player becomes the monarch. If the monarch leaves the game during their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.

If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn't resolve. In most cases, the controller of the attacking creature will still become the monarch as it is likely their turn.
1 Fiend Hunter
Fiend Hunter

Creature — Human Cleric

1/3

When this creature enters, you may exile another target creature.
When this creature leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to the battlefield under its owner's control.
If Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield before its first ability has resolved, its second ability will trigger and do nothing. Then its first ability will resolve and exile the target creature indefinitely. This is different from abilities on other cards that exile a permanent "until" something happens.

Once the exiled creature returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

If a token is exiled this way, it won't return to the battlefield.

In a multiplayer game, if you lose the game, the creature exiled with Fiend Hunter remains exiled indefinitely. This is also different from abilities on other cards that exile a permanent "until" something happens.
1 Flamerush Rider
Flamerush Rider

Creature — Human Warrior

3/3

Whenever this creature attacks, create a token that's a copy of another target attacking creature and that's tapped and attacking. Exile the token at end of combat.
Dash (You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it's returned from the battlefield to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.)
You choose which opponent or opposing planeswalker the token is attacking as you put it onto the battlefield. It doesn't have to be the same player or planeswalker Flamerush Rider is attacking.

Although the token is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature has any counters on it or Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on. Notably, it doesn't copy any effects that may have turned a noncreature permanent into a creature. If the token isn't a creature as it enters the battlefield, it won't be attacking.

If the copied creature had in its mana cost, X is 0.

If the copied creature was copying something else, the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature was copying.

If the copied creature is a token, the token created by Flamerush Rider copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield.

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "As [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[This creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied creature will also work.

If another creature becomes or enters the battlefield as a copy of the token, you won't exile that creature at end of combat. However, if Flamerush Rider creates multiple tokens due to a replacement effect (like the one Doubling Season creates), you'll exile each of those tokens.

If you choose to pay the dash cost rather than the mana cost, you're still casting the spell. It goes on the stack and can be responded to and countered. You can cast a creature spell for its dash cost only when you otherwise could cast that creature spell. Most of the time, this means during your main phase when the stack is empty.

If you pay the dash cost to cast a creature spell, that card will be returned to its owner's hand only if it's still on the battlefield when its triggered ability resolves. If it dies or goes to another zone before then, it will stay where it is.

You don't have to attack with the creature with dash unless another ability says you do.

If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of or becomes a copy of a creature whose dash cost was paid, the copy won't have haste and won't be returned to its owner's hand.
1 Frontier Warmonger
Frontier Warmonger

Creature — Human Warrior

4/4

Whenever one or more creatures attack one of your opponents or a planeswalker they control, those creatures gain menace until end of turn.
Creatures your opponents control attacking one of your opponents will cause Frontier Warmonger's ability to trigger.
1 Frontline Medic
Frontline Medic

Creature — Human Cleric

3/3

Battalion — Whenever this creature and at least two other creatures attack, creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
Sacrifice this creature: Counter target spell with in its mana cost unless its controller pays .
The three attacking creatures don't have to be attacking the same player, planeswalker, or battle.

Creatures that come under your control after Frontline Medic's battalion ability resolves will not be granted indestructible by this effect.

Once a battalion ability has triggered, it doesn't matter how many creatures are still attacking when that ability resolves.

The effects of battalion abilities vary from card to card. Read each card carefully.
1 Gilraen, Dúnedain Protector
Gilraen, Dúnedain Protector

Legendary Creature — Human Noble

2/3

, : Exile another target creature you control. You may return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control. If you don't, at the beginning of the next end step, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control with a vigilance counter and a lifelink counter on it.
When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
1 Gimli of the Glittering Caves
1 Grey Host Reinforcements
1 Harsh Mentor
Harsh Mentor

Creature — Human Cleric

2/2

Whenever an opponent activates an ability of an artifact, creature, or land on the battlefield, if it isn't a mana ability, this creature deals 2 damage to that player.
Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keyword abilities (such as equip) are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate. Notably, exerting a creature isn't an activated ability.

Harsh Mentor's ability doesn't trigger when an opponent activates an ability of a card in hand (such as cycling) or a card in a graveyard (such as embalm), even if that causes a card to be put onto the battlefield.

Harsh Mentor's ability resolves before the ability that caused it to trigger.
1 Humble Defector
Humble Defector

Creature — Human Rogue

2/1

: Draw two cards. Target opponent gains control of this creature. Activate only during your turn.
Humble Defector's ability can be activated any time during your turn, including in response to a spell or ability.

If Humble Defector isn't on the battlefield as its ability resolves, but the target player is still a legal target, the ability will resolve. You'll draw two cards, even though the player doesn't gain control of Humble Defector.

If Humble Defector is controlled by a player other than its owner, and its controller leaves the game, the effect giving that player control of Humble Defector ends. Humble Defector will return to the control of the player still in the game who most recently controlled it.

If Humble Defector's owner leaves the game, Humble Defector humbly leaves the game along with that player.
1 Lossarnach Captain
1 Palace Jailer
Palace Jailer

Creature — Human Soldier

2/2

When this creature enters, you become the monarch.
When this creature enters, exile target creature an opponent controls until an opponent becomes the monarch.
The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.

Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card" and "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch."

If you're not the monarch as Palace Jailer's second ability resolves, the creature will be exiled until there's a new monarch and that player is one of your opponents. The creature won't immediately return just because an opponent is the monarch.

Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won't return to the battlefield.

Palace Jailer leaving the battlefield won't cause the exiled creature to return. The game will continue to watch for the next time an opponent becomes the monarch.

The opponent that controlled the exiled card doesn't have to be the same opponent that becomes the monarch in order to cause that card to return to the battlefield. Any opponent becoming the monarch will cause the card to return.

In a multiplayer game, if the monarch leaves the game, the player whose turn it is immediately becomes the monarch. If the player whose turn it is has left the game, instead the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.
1 Prince Imrahil the Fair
1 Riders of Rohan
Riders of Rohan

Creature — Human Knight

4/4

When this creature enters, create two 2/2 red Human Knight creature tokens with trample and haste.
Dash (You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it's returned from the battlefield to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.)
If you pay the dash cost to cast a creature spell, that card will be returned to its owner's hand only if it's still on the battlefield when its triggered ability resolves. If it dies or goes to another zone before then, it will stay where it is.

You don't have to attack with the creature with dash unless another ability says you do.

If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of or becomes a copy of a creature whose dash cost was paid, the copy won't have haste and won't be returned to its owner's hand.
1 Selfless Squire
Selfless Squire

Creature — Human Soldier

1/1

Flash
When this creature enters, prevent all damage that would be dealt to you this turn.
Whenever damage that would be dealt to you is prevented, put that many +1/+1 counters on this creature.
Selfless Squire's first triggered ability prevents all damage that would be dealt to you this turn after the triggered ability resolves, even if Selfless Squire leaves the battlefield.

Selfless Squire's second triggered ability doesn't trigger only when damage is prevented by its first triggered ability's effect. Any effect that uses the word "prevent" will cause it to trigger.
1 Théoden, King of Rohan
1 Verge Rangers
Verge Rangers

Creature — Human Scout Ranger

3/3

First strike
You may look at the top card of your library any time.
As long as an opponent controls more lands than you, you may play lands from the top of your library. (You can play a land this way only if you have an available land play remaining.)
Verge Rangers doesn't allow you to play additional lands.

Verge Rangers lets you look at the top card of your library whenever you want (with one restriction; see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.

If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you play a land from the top of your library and it has a replacement effect that requires you to make a decision (such as that of Temple Garden), you must make that decision without knowing the next card of your library.
1 Village Bell-Ringer

When this creature enters, untap all creatures you control.
Untapping an attacking creature doesn't remove it from combat.

Creature — Human Warrior

3/3

Haste
When this creature enters, gain control of target permanent until end of turn. Untap that permanent. It gains haste until end of turn.
The triggered ability can target any permanent, including one that's untapped or one that you already control.
1 Éomer, King of Rohan
Éomer, King of Rohan

Legendary Creature — Human Noble

2/2

Double strike
Éomer enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each other Human you control.
When Éomer enters, target player becomes the monarch. Éomer deals damage equal to its power to any target.
The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward. As a player becomes the monarch, the current monarch (if any) ceases being the monarch.

There are two inherent triggered abilities associated with being the monarch. These triggered abilities have no source and are controlled by the player who was the monarch at the time the abilities triggered. The full texts of these abilities are "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card" and "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch."

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.

If the monarch leaves the game during another player's turn, that player becomes the monarch. If the monarch leaves the game during their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.

If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn't resolve. In most cases, the controller of the attacking creature will still become the monarch as it is likely their turn.
