Character Background

Boros Elite is a one-mana 1/1 Human Soldier whose Battalion turns it into a 3/3 attacker when you attack with two other creatures. That simple upside makes it a staple for Boros aggro and tempo strategies that want cheap, reliable attackers to go wide and close out games early; it’s less useful in control shells. Build around it by including token generators (Raise the Alarm, Rally the Peasants) and cheap evasive or haste creatures so Battalion triggers consistently and your board punches through. It also scales well with anthem effects like Glorious Anthem or other permanent buffs—turning multiple Elites into immediately impactful threats—and benefits from equipment or pump spells to eke extra damage. Deckwise, run multiple copies and favor a low curve with plenty of two-drops so you have attackers on turns 1–3; treat it as a tempo piece that pressures opponents while enabling synergies in soldier, token, or Boros aggro lists.
