So they finally reprinted Blaze of Glory with a slight buff. Not bad - and first of all, this time as common and not as rare card ;)

why the Meglonoth? The creature shall divide it's damage between the ones it blocked, so it would be always 6, no more...dealing 6 dmg on defense is great though, bou not different from the meglonoth not buffed with this.
I'm laughing at the idea of Eager Cadet facing down 5 Godsires so you can land an alpha strike.

@ spirit_of_blue:
Jareth's block-boost happens one time when blocking - not once per attacker blocked. However, Meglonoth's ability to deal its power in damage to controllers of blocked creatures DOES occur for each attacker blocked. Meglonoth's blocking ability is better served with something like Valor Made Real, which can be game-winning if the attacking player attacks with any kind of numbers.
@ Mode and everybody else:
This card is not Blaze of Glory with a slight buff. This card allows one creature (you'll usually target a creature you control) to block any number of creatures. Blaze of Glory FORCES an opponent's creature to block all attackers. Similar - and even comparable - but different, nevertheless.
Doesn't work with Typhoid Rats, as it could only deal damage to a single creature with its power of 1. Tangle Asp works. Meglonoth is a great choice, though expensive, I give Loyal Sentry my No. 1 vote, same color, cheap as hell. Its a scary combo.
Well priced, neat effect. It is useful and combo-able without being broken.

This looks SO much like Obi-Wan Kenobi! :D
And it is the instant-speed version of High Ground.

It's not strictly superior to Blaze of Glory, because Blaze of Glory can be cast on an enemy creature to force it to block all your creatures.

Edit: nekosan, meglonoth's triggered ability triggers for each creature it blocks

Props to anyone who gets that reference.
or
"Whenever CARDNAME is dealt combat damage..."
are the fun time cards to include with this. ("each creature it's blocking" and "each creature blocked by CARDNAME" are less common variants)
Suddenly this card is awesome.
