It's the low mana cost that I found impressive on this card.

I honestly like this card its a good pump and if ya have it late game in a token deck you can easily pump a creature

Giant Growth is better in many cases if you're playing green, but this card also fits in a mono-white deck. Delicious.

Better than Gather Courage

With two tokens you don't mind tapping, this things more or less a Giant Growth+1, which isn't bad at all, and who says you can't run four of this and four Growth's if your running a green pump deck.

Typical hybrid, underpowered for one of its colors pretty strong in the other.
Overall an ok card.

The advantage lies in that it has conspire (and hybrid mana), potentially making it much better than giant growth in that it can save 2 of your creatures. Though giant growth isnt that powerful any way so its still a meh type card

This card makes Bushi Tenderfoot a happy man :3 If you can conspire this to give Bushi +4/+4, you're almost always guaranteed that he'll flip at end of combat.

This card deserves 3.5 or maybe 4/5, just because it's that efficient in mono white decks.

The conspire is what made me look twice at this card, since having the ability to pump more then one creature makes it superior to Giant Growth in my book, never mind the hybrid mana that can be paid for it.

After playtesting with it though, I have found Sigil Blessing to be better. The main upshot of using these multiple pumps is that they are cheaply costed. Of course Overwhelming Stampede, Titanic Ultimatum, and Overrun will be better, but you don't always have the mana to cast them, especially if you are running a heavy creature deck. This and Sigil Blessing can get the job done fast if you need it, but in my opinion go Sigil if you have to choose between the two.

This works well with exalted, cause you have many creatures left to tap. With trampling atacker this can be big.

The key points here are mono-white pump and the fact that you can tap creatures that are already blocking in order to conspire if this is used on defense.
