Daru Cavalier enters with a Soldier token and tutors another Soldier to the top of your library — two bodies and a guaranteed follow-up for four mana. That's a real return on investment in any Soldier tribal shell, and a blank outside of one.

Daru Cavalier is a Soldier tribal piece first and foremost, which means Commander is its natural home — specifically any deck helmed by a Soldier-matters commander in white or Boros. In Pauper, the common print makes it a playable role-player in Soldier aggro lists where the token and tutor both pull meaningful weight at the same mana cost. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; four mana for a 2/2 and a 1/1 token doesn't compete at those power levels. It's a bulk common that does exactly one job, does it reliably, and asks you to build around it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Daru Cavalier is deep bulk — you'll find it in a commons box before you'll need to order it. The price will not move; there's no crossover demand outside Soldier tribal, and the effect isn't scarce enough to spike.
