Looks like a reprint of Yotian Soldier. Yotian saw a ton of play back in the days of revised; he was a solid defender who could take a "free hack" without tapping.

This is arguably an upgrade since it carries the "soldier" type in a white deck.

3/5

I used these guys for, oh, I don't know, forever. They were fairly solid defenders and could attack and cover my butt at the same time. They were also nice with Vulshok Gauntlets.

dunno what they ditched this art, this is much better than 8th.

@Gaussgoat:

Check the Oracle wording on Yotan Soldier - it has the "Soldier" type.

(Almost) strictly worse than Priests of Norn.

They should sit down and let the damn mouse pass through.

Not even close, infect can be a drawback. If you got most of your deck dealing damage, and only a few things with infect, its not even worth attacking with most of the time. If he had "wither" instead of infect, and was a human soldier, you could start throwing around strictly better in this case.

But even then, wither could reset someones Young Wolf, so its not better in all cases.

The soldier in the right is Antonio Banderas

I've found this card to be useful for the addition of it's Human subtype that Yotian Soldier lacks. Both are good cards.
