Iron-Shield Elf

{1}{B}

Creature — Elf Warrior

Discard a card: This creature gains indestructible until end of turn. Tap it. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it. If its toughness is 0 or less, it still dies.)

Flamekin metalcraft saves many an elvish life but mortally wounds their pride.
