Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Flying Whenever you attack with five or more Soldiers, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain flying until end of turn.
“Go wide with Soldiers, pump your air force, and swing for lethal.”
Harbin is all about going wide with Soldiers and turning that army into a lethal aerial assault. Your gameplan revolves around assembling a critical mass of Soldiers—ideally five or more—so that Harbin's triggered ability pumps your whole team and gives them flying. This turns even small utility Soldiers into a threatening air force while Harbin serves as both an evasive threat and a lords effect in the command zone.
You'll want to load your deck with efficient Soldier generators and token makers, especially ones that create multiple bodies cheaply. Cards like Raise the Alarm, Siege Veteran, and Intrepid Adversary let you build your army quickly while also providing value. Once you hit that Soldier threshold, a single attack can deal lethal commander damage or swing through for massive damage across the air. The deck naturally scales—more Soldiers mean bigger pump effects and a harder-to-block force.

Skip expensive dual lands like Flooded Strand and use budget alternatives like Prairie Stream or basic land ramp; replace pricey token generators with Intrepid Adversary and Defiant Strike.
