He does have flying... and he's pretty good in mono white.

The words "you control" make this guy not as good.

this guy's great. omitting the "you control" was the only way to make him balanced. otherwise you'd b looking at an honor of the pure with legs, flying flash and split second. and its only an uncommon? thing about bad moon and that's got a lot of love

He was very good against faeries and most control decks in general, enemy white creatures never came up that often.
Due to the potential to backfire horribly, probably best left in the sideboard.

Quit whining about it giving +1/+1 to ALL {W} creatures.
You're getting Crusade as a 2/2 Flyer with Flash and Split Second for only {2} more. If they'd made it so that he only gives your {W} creatures +1/+1, his CMC would probably be at least 2 higher than it is now. For a 4-drop, he's pretty good.

I enjoy playing him with raise the alarm. It makes for some very surprised and frustrated opponents.

I actually don't mind that he can potentially pump my enemies. What I do mind is that he's just a spirit. Not Spirit Soldier, Spirit Knight, just plain spirit. Stupidly enough, I omitted him from my soldier deck specifically because of this, even though this card is just amazing.

Remember Benalish Cavalry? This guy's official new nickname is Theoden. He does what B. Cavalry was supposed to. :) If only he granted first strike....
Thunder Spirit must be a beloved card at Wizards - both Thunder Totem and this card are homages to it. An uncounterable, flashable white flyer that also has first strike and provides the team with a Crusade is not to be underestimated, particularly against faeries or other decks that rely on counterspells or creature tokens. Even though he potentially buffs your opponents' Spectral Procession tokens too, it's still a fine card and a great addition to white weenie decks.

This is not just Crusade on legs (wings?). This is crusade with flash, and can't be countered!! (sort of).

I think that Split Second is my least favorite ability in the game, of course I am an avid control player, but I prefer cards that at least sort of offer the ability to respond. Split Second just kinda kills any chance to do anything about it...
This is slightly less egregious offenders of the split second cards, and I love cards that can alter the entire state of combat, especially when they can make a colossal blowout.

Theoden: DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!!!!!!!
orcs: oh shit. ohmygodohmygod. ohlordwearesofucked. ***hitshitdamnitalltohell. why did we come here?!?!?!?!?
I would play him except for the same cost I could drop two honor of the pure's.
This card is referencing Crusade.
