New Recruit, First Strike
Fresh-Faced Recruit slots into aggressive white red lists where timing matters. Fresh-Faced Recruit costs {1}{R/W} and reads as long as it is your turn the creature gains first strike. It is a 2 1 Human Soldier that pressures blockers early and forces unfavorable trades when you choose to attack. The light play foil finish gives the card a subtle sheen that stands out in play without shouting for attention.
On the streets of Ravnica the recruit represents the guilds drive for order and readiness. In gameplay the card is straightforward but effective. It pairs cleanly with anthem effects and pump spells and rewards sequencing because its edge exists only during your turn. Use it to push damage through chump blockers or to bait removal so your larger threats live longer.
