Booty Bay Bodyguard

Booty Bay Bodyguard is a neutral minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Basic set.

Strategy
This minion has relatively low Health for a Taunt of this cost, and so can be removed by cheaper attackers such as a Jungle Panther. Sen'jin Shieldmasta seems to be a better choice for most decks as a defender. However, his higher attack can allow him to double as a substantial attacking creature and a reasonable defender. Other alternatives include Fen Creeper, which has the same total stat values, but weighted more toward defence.

A strictly better card to consider as a replacement is Evil Heckler. Both cards have Taunt and the same stats, but Evil Heckler costs one less mana.
