About Watcher of the Wayside

Watcher of the Wayside, Artifact creature — golem, designed by Brian Valeza first released in Mar, 2025 in the set Tarkir: Dragonstorm.

This card would be beneficial in a control or mill-focused deck looking to disrupt the opponent's strategy and gain life simultaneously. However, there are better cards in Magic: the Gathering for similar effects, such as Hedron Crab or Archive Trap, which provide more impactful milling options. Watcher of the Wayside might not see much play in competitive decks due to its relatively minor impact compared to other cards available.
