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

  • First Response looks at the entire previous turn to determine whether its ability triggers or not. It doesn't matter whether First Response was on the battlefield when you lost life.

  • 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.

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