Stormborn Vanguard
Descendant of Storms is a compact attacker that earns value each time it swings. With a mana cost of {1}{W} and a 2/1 body, this Human Soldier slots into aggressive white lists or tempo builds where incremental growth matters. The printed trigger gives you a real choice on attack for the Abzan-themed battlefield: you may pay {1}{W}. If you do, it endures 1. That endure ability either places a +1/+1 counter on the creature or creates a 1/1 white Spirit token, so the card scales with repeated pressure and survives trades better than a vanilla one drop.
On the table Descendant of Storms plays like a persistent threat that snowballs into midgame advantage. It fits into token synergy shells and benefits from effects that double counters or care about creature entry. The card’s modest stats and flexible endure make it useful both in limited play from Tarkir Dragonstorm and in casual constructed decks where tempo and board presence win small fights. Add it to a deck that values efficient attackers and repeatable incremental gains.
