Galloping Glory
Inspiring Paladin arrives as a practical battlefield piece from Foundations. As a 3 3 Human Knight that reads During your turn, this creature has first strike and grants first strike to creatures you control with +1/+1 counters, it functions as both an early attacker and a tempo engine in +1/+1 counter decks. The foil Near Mint finish on this English print underscores the card without changing play patterns; what you see is a crisp casting cost of {2}{W} and a reliable combat presence.
Use Inspiring Paladin to protect value on creatures that accumulate growth or to convert marginal blockers into damage advantage. In limited or cube environments the Paladin’s static benefits force opponents to answer it quickly or lose priority in combat. There is a small touch of lore here as well; the mounted knight and the roar of hooves suggest a line that held long enough for reinforcements to form, which fits the card’s role as a steady, supporting attacker.
