This is the first soldier tribal card printed since 2009. That's crazy. I always thought soldiers were one of Magic's preeminent tribes, but recently they've kind of been forgotten.
The other new lords design was very appropriate for their tribal gameplan.
Soldier are my favorite tribal, they are the underdog before of tribal but very fun to play because of their gameplay and strategy.
soldiers were the more tactical and strategic in battlefield encounters during combat phase.
Sadly this isn't the classic soldier tribal's usual "gameplan" that I grew upon from previous dominaria block even on timespiral. the last ability is so slow and not even for a midrange white weenie deck, it's not even a human.
They should had tried something similar in modern version on mono white soldiers
something close and relative to tap or vigilance related abilities to be a to be a bit tricky in the battlefield if they can't bring back the combat phase soldier gameplan.
seriously wizards how many times is white gonna get the short straw in cycles
(personal prediction the black one will be phyrexian instead of zombie)
It's one of the problems of catching up; that the first attempts tend to not look good. Soldier tribal has been abandoned since 2009, so it needed to be dusted off. Any stronger, and we'd have a repeat of that one year where weenie was the top deck in Standard, and everything else is at least two levels below it. Monowhite survives rotation almost intact, after all.

The Veteran is more for rebuilding with the Soldier weenie strategy post-boardwipe than anything else.

it's kinda too slow for a recovery card for board wipe because also of the ability cost compare to other tribes that are being supported most of the time and the current meta.
It would had been atleast better for post boardwipe if that was the case if they go with something similar to this kind of card abilities
A 2cc soldier lord with a Reborn Hero like abilities could had been better if the case is recovery from board wipes
But with SOLDIERs instead of kithkin and without the +1/+1 counter but rather the number of soldier cards in the battlefield instead this turn replace by 1/1 white spirit soldier tokens
another one is something like the Second Sunrise
but instead ONLY for soldiers and turned into a soldier creature with FLASH instead of a an instant that would save ONLY soldier cards destroyed this turn and back on the battlefield a weak limited version of Second Sunrise but a soldier card instead of an instant and only would work exclusively to soldier cards too.
It can be based on the opponents creature on the battlefield or base on the opponents creature cards on hand. And would only search SOLDIER cards in the library not HUMAN or even WHITE Creature cards because that would be Over Powered and soldier cards was never over powered compared to elves and goblins.
White's entry in the 2-MV rare lord cycle is the first piece of Soldier tribal since Magic 2013. It's also the only one that works from the graveyard.

Or something along those GRAVEYARD matter "trigger" tribal cards from above like Elvish Soultiller and a weaker version of Kinsbaile Borderguard
for example the BoarderGuard
