March of the Easterlings
The Easterling Vanguard stands as a formidable warrior hailing from the shadowy realms of Middle-earth. For just {1}{B}, this 2/1 Creature not only charges into battle but also brings with it the promise of reinforcements. Upon its demise, you can amass Orcs, creating an army to overwhelm your opponents. This synergy with cards like Horde of Notions can elevate your battlefield presence, allowing you to capitalize on the numbers as you swarm your foes under a tide of Orc tokens.
As you summon the Easterling Vanguard, think strategically about your army's composition. If you lack an Army creature when it falls, it still generously conjures a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token, ensuring your opponents are never safe, even when they believe they have the upper hand. This card exemplifies the chaotic essence of warfare in Middle-earth, where even a single warrior's sacrifice can herald the rise of a legion.
