About this card
Mana cost: {3}
Type: Artifact Creature — Golem
When this creature enters, target player mills two cards. You gain 2 life. (To mill two cards, a player puts the top two cards of their library into their graveyard.)
"Against dragonlords, khans, and Ugin himself, the golem survived. Original purpose forgotten, it awaits orders that will never come, from a world that has moved on without it."

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Watcher of the Wayside is real?
Watcher of the Wayside is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
