# Standing Troops Standing Troops is a straightforward common from Welcome Deck 2017, a product designed to introduce new players to Magic. The card represents exactly what collectors should expect from introductory sets: functional, simple gameplay with minimal mechanical complexity. Collectors typically view Welcome Deck cards as educational artifacts rather than competitive staples. Standing Troops holds value primarily as a complete-set piece for those documenting Magic's history or collecting every printing of a particular card name. The nonfoil-only variant status reflects the deck's budget-conscious design philosophy. For most collectors, this card matters only within the context of Welcome Deck completion or casual nostalgia. It's neither rare nor particularly sought after, making it an affordable inclusion for anyone pursuing comprehensive Magic collections.
