Strategy[edit | edit source]
Winged Guardian is an extraordinarily well-statted defensive minion, being 
Bog Creeper but with Reborn and Elusive. This card is exceptionally hard to kill, requiring a total of nine damage from at least two minions or Area of effect spells. Winged Guardian is best compared to 
Evasive Drakonid, which has slightly better offensive stats but loses one health and the Reborn effect.
As a Beast, Winged Guardian can be resummoned with 
Witching Hour or drawn with 
Predatory Instincts. Beast Druid can take advantage of this, alongside cards like Witchwood Grizzly and Amani War Bear to create a powerful wall. Winged Guardian works very well in Embiggen Druid, being one of the best pulls from Strength in Numbers and a great target for Embiggen itself.
The card can also be resurrected by 
Hadronox, with the Reborn providing two Winged Guardians in the pool. However, it's a bad card for dedicated Hadronox decks since it can prevent Witching Hour from resurrecting your key card.
