Warmind Infantry

Battalion's whole design problem is rewarding the wide attack without making the individual cards unplayable when the board is thin, and this is the most honest answer the keyword produced: a 2/3 body that holds the ground floor of a curve on its own, then spikes to a 4/3 the moment two other attackers join the swing. The toughness is where the design earns its margin. Three power for three mana on an attacker is a familiar rate, but a 2/3 survives the early trades that a 3/2 loses, so the card pulls its weight blocking and racing before the trigger ever fires. The conditional power bump is pure upside layered on a body that was already paying rent. Battalion as a mechanic always lived or died on whether its members were stranded when you couldn't go three-wide, and the flimsier members of this kind tend to fail that test by stapling the keyword to a fragile attacker. This one passes by spending its stats on durability rather than initial reach, which is the less flashy and more correct way to build a go-wide payoff that has to function in the games where the board never gets wide at all.
