Resolute Reinforcements drops two vigilance bodies at instant speed for two mana — that's the whole pitch. In Myrel, Shield of Argive decks, it's also the second piece of a Cloudstone Curio loop that generates infinite tokens, which upgrades it from role-player to engine component.

Resolute Reinforcements is legal across every major constructed format but hasn't broken through in competitive ones — two bodies for two mana is fine rate, not dominant rate, and aggressive white decks in Modern and Pioneer have more efficient options. In Standard it occupies a serviceable but undistinguished slot in go-wide strategies. Commander is where it earns genuine consideration: the instant speed matters in token and Soldier synergy shells, and the Cloudstone Curio combo line makes it a legitimate tutor target in the right decks.
