Why the low rating? What about white weanie decks? Hearthfire Hobgoblin? No?

I agree with Kenji, seriously, what's up with the rating? This card is amazing! It gets a 5 from me.

Gotta love this card. As if white weenie decks needed any help to begin with, now my 2/2 Knight of Meadowgrain is a 4/4? Nice. And my 5/5 Oversoul of Dusk is a 10/10? Even better!

It's a great card, but Glorious Anthem fits better in most white weenie decks...

It had a worse rating for several reasons, those include:
1) 4 mana drop, when most white weenies only have 1 or 2 for there colored mana cost, largley making it obsolete for the extra mana (in comparison to glorious anthem or shared triumph).

2) Most 4 mana cards have game changing effects, this could change the game, but would have a hard time doing so on its own, and before you mention stuff like oversoul of dusk or dawn elemental there are far better cards to combo those with, and besides, you will basically never find those cards in a good weenie deck, which is what this was made for.

3) This is the big one: Most weenie decks (good ones) have a large quantity of tokens, becuase if you ran all creature cards to try and zerg your enemy, you would fail pretty bad VS board effects. Becuase most weenie decks run lots of tokens, this does nothing. Big one right there.

I've seen this in a knight deck. It's at least +2/+2 on all of those, so it does have some uses. Granted, the deck isn't competitive, but it's great aggro in casual.

Works freaking wonders in my white deck that runs four copies of Skyhunter Skirmisher. I'll take a 3/3 flying double striker on turn 4, thank you.

Divinity of Pride a 13/13 flyer with Lifelink ? Why not!

@Kenji18:

If by "weenie" you are refering to tokens, they don't get a boost from this.

My friend runs this in his enchantment deck with Opalescence. Works pretty well when it gives itself +2/+2. If you have this and Glorious Anthem out, Light is a 7/7 and Anthem is a 6/6.

The art is fabulous, and with an epic fitting flavor text.

It would be funny if this had said, "Each white creature you control" rather than "Each creature you control".

I understand it is most optimal to use in a mono-white deck, but that art makes me want to use it in Kaalia of the Vast, even with some Red and Black creatures who would not get the boost.

I think that the Angels and Knights I *am planning to use might make it worth it, and cards like Divinity of Pride certainly help it look not quite so 'amateur'. :)

So that the Red and Black creatures don't feel left out, I decided Concerted Effort was in order to make it up to them with Sword of Vengeance. :D

Divinity of Pride. I, for one, like having a 13/13 flying lifelink.
