Oracle Text
Target creature gets +1/+3 and gains flying until end of turn. Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Hamato Guardian Stance is a deceptively efficient one-mana instant: +1/+3 and flying until end of turn buys combat wins or surprise blocks while Scry 1 turns that trick into real card selection. It best supports tempo and aggressive midrange plans—use it to push through damage with a small attacker or to save a key creature from an unfavorable trade and keep initiative—while also finding a home in light control shells that need cheap interaction and card smoothing. Synergize it with cheap creatures that care about connecting (lifelinkers, damage-triggered value creatures, or token swarms) so a single pump both saves and converts into extra damage or triggers; in limited it's a premier combat trick, in constructed consider 2–4 copies in a 18–22 creature white aggro list. Also pair with evasive or "damage matters" cards so the temporary flying often yields incremental card advantage rather than just a one-off surprise.
