Identified as card number 67 with the set code ARB, this card depicts a Rhino Soldier that blends green and white mana in its casting cost. Illustrated by Volkan Baǵa, the card captures the thematic essence of servitude and resilience within the Alara plane's narrative. As a three-mana creature, the Dauntless Escort offers strategic depth through its unique ability.

The Dauntless Escort, with its distinct Rhino Soldier subtype and versatile sacrifice effect, represents a key piece for enthusiasts of the format.
