- **Type:** Creature — Human Soldier

Whenever this creature attacks, another target creature you control gets +1/+0 and gains indestructible until end of turn. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)

> *„Es ist keine Zauberei. Ich lese die Zeichen, die an den Wänden des Hauses geschrieben stehen. Ich höre auf seine Seufzer. Ich rieche die Veränderungen in seiner Luft. Es erzählt mir, wo die Gefahren lauern."*
