Soldier is a creature class. Soldiers are trained combatants who are part of a formal army.[2] They are tough and disciplined, adept at fighting in concert, and overwhelming the enemy. The subtype was first featured on Icatian cards of Fallen Empires, but Benalish Hero from Alpha and several other early cards have retroactively become Soldiers, as well.
Description
Many soldiers have first strike, vigilance, or other combat-oriented abilities. Most soldiers are white,[3][4] though a large minority are blue or red, and a few green and black soldiers have been printed as well. In the Grand Creature Type Update the subtypes Avenger (Righteous Avengers), Hero (Benalish Hero), Legionnaire (Akron Legionnaire), Pikeman (Pikemen) and Squire (Squire) were incorporated into the Soldier class.

Tokens
More than 90 cards produce Soldier tokens, which makes the Soldier token the second most common one, after Zombies.[6][7]
Kindred type
Morningtide featured one kindred Soldier equipment which was cheaper to cast with Ballyrush Banneret.
Soldier manlands, enchantments, and artifacts
Soldiers are created by:
- Boros Keyrune (1/1 red and white Soldier artifact creature with double strike.)
- Forbidding Watchtower (1/5 white Soldier)
- Opal Acrolith (2/4 white Soldier)
- Opal Avenger (3/5 white Soldier)
- Opal Caryatid (2/2 white Soldier)
Trivia
- All Gideon planeswalkers can become Human Soldiers. They are typically indestructible and have 4/4, 5/5, or 6/6 power and toughness. Gideon, Champion of Justice has power and toughness each equal to the number of loyalty counters on him.
- Daru Stinger gained the Human race in the Grand Creature Type Update, but it was removed later because it made the card substantially better than it was designed.[9] Thus, it is the only Soldier without a race in its type line.
