Frontline Strategist

A Fog with a deadline attached, except it spares your own tribe. The flip trigger blanks all combat damage from non-Soldier creatures through end of turn, so it works as a one-sided combat reset hidden inside a morph: turn it up during an attack and every non-Soldier on the table (theirs, and any of yours that strayed off-type) hits for nothing, while your Soldiers swing clean. The morph cost matters to the timing more than to the casting: keeping it face down means you choose the combat step where the prevention lands, ambushing an alpha strike or saving your own swing from a mass blocker. The trigger fires once, on a genuine turn-face-up, with no engine to rebuild it, so this is a single decisive moment you set up in advance by reading the board and holding the morph in reserve. It is a narrow design, one that lives or dies on how many of your creatures carry the Soldier line, but the structure (bury a Fog in a creature, then exempt your own deck from it) is a cleaner statement of tribal payoff than most of the era's lord effects. Where a lord pumps the team, this rewards the team by erasing everyone else's combat, an asymmetry that only pays off if you commit to Soldiers narrowly enough that the exemption isn't a near-empty clause.
