Commander Mustard

A Soldiers lord that hands its team the exact toolkit an aggressive tribal deck actually wants: vigilance to keep bodies back on defense while the board swings, trample to punch past chump blockers, and haste so every reinforcement counts the turn it arrives. Most tribal anthems settle for a static buff or a single keyword; this one distributes three offensive keywords at once, then bolts a repeatable pinger on top. That activated ability is the piece that turns a wide board into a clock the defender cannot simply block away: pay the cost and every attacking Soldier taxes the opponent for one, so even a ground stall where every creature trades still bleeds life on each swing. The design commits to an anthem-plus-payoff structure where the body is a serviceable 5/5 on its own but the real value scales with each additional Soldier deployed. Its natural home is a go-wide token strategy, where every cheap creature inherits the keyword package and adds to the damage-per-attack tax. Pricing the pinger's activation at the same two colors as the caster keeps it a genuine mana sink rather than a free trigger, so the deck has to choose between developing the board and firing the ability. The build that can do both is the one this card is designed to reward.
