Verdict

Sentry currently profiles as a strong but narrow and is best treated as a tech card.

Best fit

On Reveal

How to use it

Use Sentry in On Reveal shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include.

Common mistake

The common mistake is jamming Sentry into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect.

Token advice

Be conservative with tokens. This is more of an archetype purchase than a universal account upgrade.
