# Infantry Veteran Infantry Veteran is a straightforward common from Magic 2011 that appeals primarily to limited players and casual builders. The card's modest pump ability—giving target creature +1/+2 until end of turn—makes it a solid role-player in draft formats where combat tricks matter. Collectors generally view this as a bulk common with minimal long-term appeal, though the foil version holds slightly more interest for those pursuing complete foil sets or M11 collections. The card's simplicity and common rarity mean variant differences are minimal. It represents the kind of functional utility card that defined Magic's core sets, valued more for gameplay function than collectibility.
