Warrior is a creature class.[1] Warriors are combatants who fight alone or in loose hordes.[2]

Description

Zendikar Rising symbol for Warriors

Unlike soldiers, whose strength is in their numbers, a single warrior is often content to take on the world all by themselves. Warriors favor brute strength over cunning and sheer will over tactics. Many warriors have trample.

The first card to feature the type was Cat Warriors from Legends. Retroactively, many cards like Dwarven Warriors, Goblin Balloon Brigade and Orcish Artillery from Alpha gained the type, as well. Most warriors are black, red, or green.[3][4] However, some worlds have White warriors, such as Amonkhet, Tarkir, Kaldheim and Zendikar specifically in Zendikar Rising.

Warriors are part of the party batching mechanic introduced in Zendikar Rising.
