Oracle Text
During your turn, this creature has first strike.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Fresh-Faced Recruit is a cheap, aggressive two-power body that gains first strike during your turn, making it an excellent tempo piece in Boros aggro — it kills many blockers on the attack and frequently comes out ahead in trades so you can pressure life totals early. It best supports a tempo/aggro game plan: push fast, clear chumps with cheap removal, and finish with burn or anthem finishers. Specific synergies include Boros Charm to upgrade that conditional first strike into double strike, equipment like Bonesplitter to amplify damage, or Skullclamp if you want sacrifice value when it dies; combat tricks and one-mana pumps also maximize its efficiency. Deckbuilding tip: favor a low curve with lots of one- and two-drops and 18–22 lands so you can reliably deploy and attack every turn while packing a few interaction spells to protect or push through damage. Thematically it reads as an eager front-line soldier who excels when leading the charge.
