About First Response

First Response, Enchantment, designed by Slawomir Maniak first released in Jul, 2014 in the set Magic 2015 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.

A deck that focuses on gaining life and then losing life strategically, such as a lifegain/lifeloss deck, would benefit from using First Response. This card can provide a steady stream of 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens if you can consistently trigger the lifeloss condition. However, there are potentially better cards for this type of strategy, such as Suture Priest or Blood Artist, which offer more immediate or versatile benefits. Whether First Response should see play depends on the specific synergies and strategies of the deck in question.

Rules

Damage dealt to you causes you to lose that much life.

11/10/20

First Response checks only if you lost life during the turn, not whether your life total decreased over the course of the turn. For example, if you lost 2 life and then gained 8 life last turn, First Response’s ability will trigger.

11/10/20

The Soldier won’t be able to attack the turn it’s created (unless something gives it haste).
