Rationale

4cmc 3/4 legendary human soldier with a static stax-lock effect: opponents can't cast spells or activate artifact/creature/enchantment abilities during your turn. Attack trigger doubles your soldier count. Signature in death-and-taxes (tempo lock + token aggression hybrid), tokens-go-wide (attack-triggered exponential growth), and stax-prison (soft lock). Anti-combo (locks spell cast; breaks storm/storm-adjacent turns) and anti-control (locks instant activation, shuts down control's interaction windows). Soldier synergy and token exponential growth are core to the card's identity.
