Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Sergeant John Benton looks like a classic battlefield officer translated into Magic as a pressure piece that rewards clean attacks and timely information exchange. In practice, he best supports a tempo or midrange game plan: a 2/4 body with haste and trample can start trading immediately, and if he connects, “Share Intelligence” turns combat damage into a burst of cards for both players. That means you want ways to force damage through and capitalize on extra draws, such as equipment that boosts power, evasion-granting effects, or protection to keep him attacking. Green-white shells that already like combat tricks and resilient threats fit well, especially with cards that turn drawing into advantage like Archivist-style payoffs or permanents that reward playing from hand quickly. He is strongest when you can make the extra cards matter faster than your opponent can, turning a seemingly symmetric effect into a tempo edge.
