Oracle Text
When this creature enters, draw a card. If you control another Hero, you gain 2 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Hero in Training is a clean, efficient common that fits best in white value or tempo shells, especially decks looking to curve out while keeping the hand full. A 2/2 for three mana is modest, but the enter-the-battlefield draw makes it replace itself immediately, which is exactly what control and midrange white decks want from a filler creature: stability without card loss. The bonus life trigger if you already control another Hero adds a nice snowball effect, rewarding decks built around multiple Hero creatures or a wider team of iconic recruits. In play, this card wants to be cast after an earlier Hero to turn on the life gain, or simply used as a cantrip body when you need to pressure planeswalkers and trade early. It pairs well with blink effects and creature recursion, since re-entering can keep the card flow going while potentially re-triggering the life swing.
