Hero

Hero is a creature class that depict characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice (heroism) for some greater good. 
==History==
The first creature to bear the subtype was <c>Benalish Hero</c> in Limited Edition Alpha, followed by <c>Kjeldoran Warrior</c> and <c>Beast Walkers</c>. When <c>Aysen Crusader</c> was printed it was powered up by these three heroes but was not a Hero itself. The Hero-class was obsoleted in the 2007 Grand Creature Type Update and, rather than Heroes, the Crusader now gained a bonus from Soldiers and Warriors instead.
The only card remaining with the subtype Hero was <c>Fraction Jackson</c> from Unhinged, as silver-bordered cards were allowed to have creature types not supported by the Comprehensive Rules. In 2013, Hero was reinvented as an unofficial card type as part of the Hero's Path for the Theros block. 
Hero returned as an eternal creature type in 2024 for the Universes Beyond Marvel sets. It is unclear if older cards wil (re)gain the creature type. As of Foundations the type hasn't been implemented in the Comprehensive Rules yet.
