Rationale
3cmc 3/2 first-strike human soldier. Static ability taps down opp creatures and nonbasic lands as they enter. Signature hatebear in death-and-taxes and tempo shells, core piece of mana-denial stax. Blocks well, threatens fair clock, opposes ramp. Anti-group-hug: tapping opp permanents contradicts group-hug's give-resources thesis."
