Legendary Creature — Human Warrior

Baldin wants a deck that piles armor and magic onto one creature and attacks with it. It also works in a deck built around Humans or Warriors.

  • White ()
  • Power / toughness0 / 7
  • RarityRare

During your turn, each creature assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.

Whenever Baldin attacks, up to one hundred target creatures each get +0/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of cards in your hand.
