Sunhome Stalwart: Frontline Mentor

Sunhome Stalwart is a compact tempo piece that expects to trade up. At {1}{W} you get a 2 2 Creature Human Soldier with First strike and Mentor. It presses advantage in combat by both removing incoming threats and by boosting a smaller attacking creature when it swings. The card reads cleanly and slots into aggressive white builds where incremental growth matters across multiple attack steps.

Play it early to establish a reliable attacker that helps win favorable trades while developing a board presence. In limited formats it smooths out aggressive curves and rewards planning around attack order. The flavor ties it to Boros duty and discipline so it feels at home in decks that value tempo, incremental power gains and disciplined combat math.
