Battalion — Whenever this creature and at least two other creatures attack, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Their ranks are thin, their formation is improvised, their weapons are borrowed, and you'd best get out of their way.

Where it came from
Makeshift Battalion was released in 2020 as part of the Core Set 2021 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, core sets are designed to serve as a foundational experience for players, blending reprints with new designs that explore specific mechanical themes. This card was created to support white-aligned aggressive strategies, emphasizing the synergy between low-cost creatures and the 'mentor' or power-scaling mechanics prevalent during that era of gameplay design.
The artwork for the card was provided by illustrator Simon Dominic, who opted for a stark, utilitarian aesthetic that aligns with the card's theme of soldiers quickly assembled for combat. The design intentionally features a dynamic, somewhat haphazard visual composition to reflect the card's name, suggesting a force brought together by necessity rather than formal training. Upon release, it was received as a solid, functional piece for Limited formats, noted by the community for its efficiency in decks focused on early-game board presence.
