Ready the Ranks
Gird for Battle is a compact white sorcery that converts a single mana into reliable board work. The effect places a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two target creatures, which makes it an efficient pump and long term growth tool rather than a one shot buff. In play this card reads as a precision combat trick and a late game nut for creature decks that want incremental advantage; it pairs well with creatures that benefit from counters and with strategies that exploit +1/+1 synergy.
This near mint English printing from Foundations Jumpstart is straightforward to sequence. Cast it before blocks to shift combat math, or hold it to grow defensive bodies that survive removal. The card name hints at Sunhome style resolve in the art and flavor text, but the practical upside is clear: two small permanent upgrades that scale. Add it to a white creature shell or a counters toolbox when you need predictable, low cost growth.
