About En Garde

En Garde, Spell, designed by Kudos Productions first released in Mar, 2026 in the set Origins.

**En Garde** fits best in aggressive tempo or duel-focused decks that often attack or defend with a single key unit at a location, such as Voltron-style builds that stack buffs on one threat or low-unit-count midrange decks that spread out to avoid overcommitting; in those strategies it is effectively a 1-cost +2 :rb_might: reaction at instant speed, which is efficient and tactically flexible thanks to its ability to interrupt combat math. It is weaker in swarm decks or board-centric strategies where multiple friendly units commonly share a location, since it will frequently only grant +1 :rb_might:. In terms of power level, any 1-cost reaction that grants an unconditional +2 :rb_might: (or +1 :rb_might: plus an additional keyword like Shield or First Strike) would generally be better because it lacks the positional restriction, making it more reliable. Overall, En Garde is playable in the right archetype and meta—particularly where combat tricks swing trades—but it is situational rath
