Warrior's Resolve
Enchantment
Creatures you control have training. (Whenever a creature you control attacks with another creature with greater power, put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with lesser power.)
At the beginning of your end step, if you control a creature with a +1/+1 counter on it that attacked this turn, draw a card.

Warrior's Resolve gives a creature +2/+1 and trample for a single red or white mana — instant-speed pump that trades up in combat and pushes through blockers. The narrow upside doesn't justify a deck slot in most builds, but Noctis, Heir Apparent decks that need cheap instants to trigger abilities have a real reason to run it.

Noctis, Heir Apparent
Noctis, Heir Apparent rewards casting instants and sorceries, and Warrior's Resolve is cheap enough to fire off mid-combat while keeping mana open — the trample buff turns an otherwise blocked attacker into a meaningful damage source and ticks the spell-cast trigger.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Warrior's Resolve is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's a Commander card in practice — nowhere else does a one-mana combat trick get enough runway to matter. In Legacy and Vintage the bar for single-target pump is simply too high; you're competing against cantrips and interaction that do far more for the same cost. In Commander, it earns its slot specifically in spellslinger or instants-matter decks where the act of casting it is the point, not just the stat boost.

Price Context
Current price
$2.79 cheap tier
At $2.79, Warrior's Resolve sits at the high end of what you'd expect for a narrow combat trick — that price is driven almost entirely by its role in Noctis, Heir Apparent builds rather than broad demand. If the Noctis spike cools, so does this price; run it because you need it, not as a hold.
