Abbey Matron (first printed in Homelands, 1995)


The "Abbey" prefix to cards must be shorthand for ways of beating traditional red decks, and the Matron is a perfect speed-bump against goblins and fireworks in general, especially as in that case her single point of power would be relevant against the individually tiny greenskins. If you can somehow add vigilance to her (Serra's Blessing?), she outclasses other classics like Giant Turtle and Yotian Soldier. Aside from that purpose, this old girl is second banana to many more generally strong defensive creatures. Still, when she's served her purpose, you can consider sending her on holiday to the beautiful Diamond Valley... Can be acquired for less than ten pence a copy, for either picture.
