Soltari Foot Soldier is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Shadow (This creature can block or be blocked by only creatures with shadow.)

How it works : Soltari Foot Soldier

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a creature has been blocked, that creature remains blocked and will deal and be dealt combat damage even if it gains or loses shadow or if the blocking creature gains or loses shadow.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If an attacking creature has multiple evasion abilities, such as shadow and flying, a creature can block it only if that creature satisfies all of the appropriate evasion abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Multiple instances of shadow on the same creature are redundant.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
