Hold the Line at Hanweir
Hanweir Garrison is a compact, aggressive red creature that turns a single attack into a small army. With a casting cost of {2}{R} and printed as a Creature — Human Soldier, the Garrison hits the board as a 2/3 and immediately changes how your combat math works by creating two tapped and attacking 1/1 red Human creature tokens whenever it attacks. That interaction rewards forward tempo, builds instant pressure on life totals, and synergizes cleanly with anthem effects and cheap pump spells.
The card reads like a practical plan for aggressive decks on Innistrad nightwatch patrols: push early, flood the board, and force unfavorable blocks. Hanweir Garrison pairs naturally with sac outlets, haste enablers, and anything that cares about creatures entering combat already attacking. If you pilot red decks that prefer redundancy over singletons, this rare is a reliable engine that complements both linear aggro and creature combo strategies. Pick it up to reinforce your attacker lineup and to close games more consistently.
