I find it a bit baffling that a guy who lobs grenades would have higher toughness than power.

Those must be the weakest grenades in Ravnica if they only do one damage, and only then if there's other people around to watch the explosion.

@ lorendorky: Well his toughness would be high that his power because when he's lobbing said grenade he's at a distance, kind of a first strike type theory only they used toughness instead of first strike.

@SyntheticDreamer That's because it's Boros! They don't approve of disorderly explosions.

I has infinite explosives! But I'll only use 'em if you two come with me.

Grossly underpowered and dies to everything in Limited. Its Battalion doesn't redeem it since you're only gonna be able to use it once if your opponent's smart enough to have blocks. What was R&D thinking? This isn't a card, ever.

Rather weak, but with a suit like that does anyone even care?

Pulled a couple of these in the prerelease, they are amazing. With the toughness to survive some blockers when they swing, this card's battalion effect is really where it excels.
That one damage came in handy many times when dealing with fliers, or tricky effect cards like Simic Manipulator, and if there's nothing else to do with it you can still hit the enemy player!

Much better than I expected, at least in Limited. In constructed there are probably better options, but having a pair (or more) of these swinging in is surprisingly nasty.

People seem to think this guy'd be chucking around bombs the strength of Lightning Bolts. That's not how bomber corps work. They chuck grenades, not bunker busters, cut 'em some slack. A free Goblin Arsonist explosion every time you attack can be handy.

not the best battalion but did very well in my draft the card was so weak no one bothered to get rid of it! :3 3/5 for a staple battalion

I'd just like to point out real quick to all the people using "guy" that this soldier is female.
A couple of these on the field can leave opponents without any cheap blockers. At the very least, they'll help chip away a bigger blocker.

@lorendorky:
Explosions are very erratic. When training soldiers to use them... Well, accidents happen. Either way, only the ones tough enough to stick around those explosions join the bomber corps.
