Veteran Swordsmith

Soldiers have always been white's quietly supported aggressive tribe, and this is the lord that does the cheap, blunt work of holding the shell together. The anthem is power-only, +1/+0 to every other Soldier you control, which tells you exactly what kind of deck wanted it: a low-curve board that needs its team to punch harder than its mana cost suggests, not survive longer. Toughness boosts protect against sweepers and chip damage; a power-only lord protects against nothing and leans entirely into the race, turning a wide line of one- and two-drop bodies into lethal math a turn early. The 3/2 frame is part of that bargain, an attacker first that contributes its own pressure rather than hiding behind the buff it provides. The effect is deliberately narrow: the anthem touches only Soldiers, so the card is dead weight outside a board built around the type, which is the cost a tribal lord pays for being efficient inside its lane. That narrowness is also why this kind of effect tends to arrive in pairs within a set, a second lord stacking the same axis so the whole curve scales together rather than relying on any one creature surviving. This is the plainest version of the white-weenie lord template: no protection, no evasion, just a body and a number that makes the rest of the team finish faster.
