Card text

Sound the Trumpets

Instant

Counter target spell. If that spell's mana value was 2 or less, recruit. (Draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, create a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token.)

The warning trumpets were suddenly sounded, and echoed along the rocky shores. So it was that the Dragon did not find them quite unprepared.

Once a spell or ability that causes you to recruit begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Any responses made to the spell or ability must be made before you draw, discard, and potentially create a token.
