I prefer Temple Acolyte.

For 1 less, it would have been good.
There where far better 4-drops.
They look like turtles in all that plate mail.

With the recent printing of Lone Missionary, these guys are not showing their age well. It's certainly not a strict upgrade - Teroh's Faithful are part of a more important tribe than that Kor, and this creature is also certainly more defensive, which could fit some decks better than the 2/1...

Still, though, a 1/4 for 4 is underwhelming, even if you do tack on some lifegain. I will often defend older cards in the face of power creep... but I don't think that this was too good even when it was first printed.

1.5/5

The light of reason follows them even into the Bargain bin.

They give life, they are heavy blockers, they can be given equipment and fit well in human decks. All good.

Looks pretty bad, but it's something I'd consider for a draft deck or something (Gain 4 life and block stuff all day, seems good for controll decks). Of course I've drafted sets from 12 years ago so I wouldn't know. Also, check the muliverseID (in the URL). I gave it 2/5.

This card's Multiverse ID is 12345.

Very terrible today, but perhaps in its environment it was something goblin decks hated to see.
