Gameplay

Creature — Human Soldier

First strike; banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.) Whenever this creature attacks, all creatures banded with it gain first strike until end of turn.

Skirmishers engaged raiders before they could reach the towns. Although these units typically suffered huge losses, they never lacked volunteers.

Card #14 of *Fallen Empires*, the set that shipped alongside the November 1994 Fallen Empires release.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #22,802 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
