Soldier

The Soldier token was introduced as part of the Core Set 2019 expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released by Wizards of the Coast in July 2018. This token serves as a utility card, representing a generic 1/1 white creature that players generate through the effects of various spells and abilities within the set. It was designed to provide a clear, physical marker on the battlefield, helping players track their board state during complex games.

The illustration for this token was created by Magali Villeneuve, a prominent fantasy artist known for her highly detailed and emotive character work. Her design features a clean, knightly aesthetic that emphasizes the stoic and protective nature associated with white-aligned creatures in the game. Her contribution was well-received by the community, noted for its polished technique and the clarity it provides during gameplay, distinguishing it from earlier iterations of token designs.
