Power: 6 | Speed: 5 | Rarity: Rare | World Region: The Wild Borderlands
Origins: Wild Warden guards the Wild Borderlands – the outer limit of Nature territory where the affinity's systems become less controlled and more elemental. It is the authority card in Nature's Rare tier – a 6/5 warden who doesn't just fight but formally claims the terrain as its own before fighting, which consistently gives it an effective stat advantage the base numbers don't reflect.
Finishing Move: Wild Decree: Issues the Wild Decree – a formal claim on the Wild Borderlands territory that changes the terrain to Nature-optimal parameters before the round resolves. 6 Power on home terrain is 6 Power under the best possible conditions.
Synergy & Rivalry: The authority warden in Nature Rares. Earth's Moss Warden is its direct cross-affinity Warden peer – two Warden cards from adjacent elements who both use authority claims as combat tools, with an unresolved disagreement about whether terrain-claiming or mobile defence is the more effective Warden methodology.
