Imodane's Recruiter // Train Troops

Creature — Human Knight // Sorcery — Adventure2 generic manaRed mana4 generic manaWhite mana

Two phases of an aggressive plan split across two colors and one card slot. Train Troops is the setup: five mana at sorcery speed for two vigilant white Knights, a board that develops width while still holding the ground, since vigilance lets those bodies attack without surrendering the block. The creature half is the payoff, and it does not need the Adventure to earn its keep: a mono-red anthem-and-haste trigger that scoops up everything already deployed and pushes it across at once. Drop it on turn three behind a couple of ordinary one- and two-drops and the +1/+0-and-haste alpha strike lands on schedule; the Knights, when they are present, just make the swing wider. That is the design's real cleverness: a patient go-wide plan stored in white, an immediate overrun kept in red, and a single card that lets an aggressive deck choose which clock it is running. Neither mode carries full weight alone: two 2/2 tokens for five is a slow rate, and an anthem that fades at end of turn folds to a single well-placed blocker or removal spell. Together they hand the deck a stored finisher and a body that can accelerate the beatdown on its own, which is more range than either half would draw as a standalone card. The price of that range is a timing puzzle rather than a dependency: you decide when the red body is worth casting, not whether the white half has done its work first.
