Vanguard of Abzan Resolve
Inspirited Vanguard arrives as a straightforward answer for midrange strategies that value incremental advantage. As shown on the card art, a resolute Human Soldier charges forward flanked by glowing Spirit allies, which captures the card's core function: every time Inspirited Vanguard enters or attacks it endures 2, giving you immediate board presence either as two +1/+1 counters or a 2/2 white Spirit token. That flexibility makes it useful in combat-heavy builds and in decks that want resilient threats that grow or replace themselves on demand.
From an experienced player's perspective this card slots into Abzan colors comfortably and rewards repeated attacks or blink effects. It curves cleanly into the midgame with a {4}{G} casting cost and a 3/2 body, and it pairs well with sacrifice outlets or anthem effects that amplify those Spirit tokens and counters. If you play with near mint English copies from Tarkir Dragonstorm this Inspirited Vanguard gives practical, template-ready utility for both limited pools and constructed brews. Add it to your deck and test how consistent a recurring endure trigger feels under pressure.
