Guardman is a keyword shared between the Fire and Nature civilizations.
Details[]
Guardman is an altered and weaker version of the Blocker keyword ability that was exclusive to the Light, Water and Darkness civilizations.
Unlike the Blocker ability, you can only tap creatures with the Guardman ability when your opponent attacks one of your other creatures to make them battle your creature with the Guardman ability instead.
However, as Guardman ability is not "Blocker", creatures with the Guardman keyword are unaffected by cards that destroy creatures that have the Blocker ability. They are also able to stop attacks from creatures that can't be blocked as Guardman is not considered to be blocking.
Reminder Text[]
The latest reminder text for Guardman reads:
Guardman (You may tap this creature to change the attack target of your opponent's creature from your other creatures to this creature.) |
The previous reminder text for Guardman read:

Rulings[]
- Q: What is "Guardman"?
- A: When one of your creatures is attacked, you may tap a creature with "Guardman" to redirect the attack from the attacked creature to the creature with "Guardman". It is similar to "Blocker", but is limited to the attack of your creatures.
- Q: My opponent's creature has been attacked by me. Can I use "Guardman"?
- A: No, "Guardman" can only be used when your creature are attacked.
- Q: I used "Guardman" ability. Can I then block that attack using another creature's "Blocker"?
- A: Yes, but "Guardman" must be used before "Blocker".
- Q: If my opponent's creature can't be blocked, can I change the target of the attack using "Guardman"?
- A: Yes. "Guardman" and "Blocker" are different abilities, so "Guardman" is not affected by creatures that can't be blocked. "Guardman" is affected by creatures such as Omegattai Sandaioh, whose attack can't be redirected.
