Alistair, the Brigadier
Oracle Text
Whenever you cast a historic spell, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.)
Whenever Alistair attacks, you may pay {8}. If you do, creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of historic permanents you control.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Alistair, the Brigadier fits best in a value-driven midrange or token-centric Legends deck, where every historic spell turns into board presence and every attack threatens a sudden team-wide pump. In practice, he rewards building around artifacts, legendary permanents, and Sagas so you can steadily stock the battlefield with 1/1 Soldiers while naturally increasing the size of the eventual attack boost. Because the {8} activation is expensive, he plays more like a closing engine than an early aggressor, so ramp and cost reduction matter; mana rocks, treasure-makers, and cheap legendary spells help you reach the finish line. A strong deckbuilding tip is to prioritize historic permanents that also defend or generate value, since they both trigger tokens and raise X for the attack trigger. The lore feel is that of a disciplined commander gathering allies over time, then delivering one decisive, coordinated offensive.
