Decent for white weenie, but only if you have a way to boost/ protect them from 'clasm.

Is it good? As the great say: "...depends on the meta."

For the base cost, this spell puts more soldier tokens into play than Martial Coup at the same casting cost. However, I think Martial Coup's extra ability (i.e. spend 5 or more on X in its casting cost) is more useful than this card's kicker.

Sigil Captain, Captain of the Watch, and maybe an Armorsmith and Swordsmith if you can. That there could be game.

combine with an equipped kor armorer, 12 3/3 tokens sounds a lot better then 12 1/1

Very good with honor of the pure and the soldier smiths. This puts the soldier group buffs to good use.
Though 12 tokens would be amazing, the kicker is hardly going to see use in mono white. In all but the longest games, 11 mana without ramping is just not gonna happen.
This could be a big bomb in a green and white token deck with mana ramp.

I see this as a wonderful finisher when tied with Armament Master with at least one equipment. Suddenly having six 3\3's out for five mana is quite nice, and a bit scary. Add just one more piece of equipment and suddenly six 5\5's will end the game next turn. Short of maybe a Doomblade, but that's what Whispersilk cloak is for right?

in an ally deck you could play shields of veilis vel on the same turn as this card. that would be insane damage if you had hagra dibolisist on the field( it would be like 7 damage 7 times right?) someone help me out.

I'd agree that Armament Master could make this threatening rather than just annoying.

Great card, but you really need to use the Kicker and protect them some how, but adding somthing tipical White such as Glorious Anthem would really work here.

Combine this with Captain of the Watch, Knight Captain of Eros for prevention and throw in Coat of arms and thats quick trouble in later stages

This got cast at Worlds in Rome with 4 Soul Wardens on the board. Ouch.
The Kicker is undoubtedly for multiplayer. Or VERY long games. The basic effect is still quite powerful, and white is best equipped to protect the tokens from Pyroclasm or Volcanic Fallout. See Armament Master, Honor of the Pure, (until recently) Glorious Anthem.
Ya know what would be funny?? An effect in white that triggered when your stuff died for massive card advantage.
...Nah, that'd be broken.

11 mana kicker.. Although this card is definitely a finisher, playing it is quite risky because if it gets countered then it's a definitely a double edged sword..
-10 soldiers in total (Martial Coup+Conqueror's Pledge) -Destroy all opposing creatures (Martial Coup) -Every single one of the 10 soldiers is +11/+11 (Coat of Arms), thus, total combat damage= 110 combat damage damage -Mana cost: 12 (Martial Coup+Conqueror's Pledge) -Impractical combo
Optional: -Add Dauntless Escort in case the other player uses a AoE destruction spell -Add Sigil Captain or Armament Master to add more salt to the other player's wounds :P (in fact you can use these two cards in place of Coat of Arms but the total combat damage will be 40)

With RoE's release, this card just got a lot more playable (with kicker). Now it's clear why the kickers on some of these cards cost so much...

In play:
Soul's Attendant + Ajani's Pridemate
Cast:
Conqueror's Pledge:
get 6 dudes, get 6 life, swing with a 8/8. for 5 mana.
some cards to add there:
Armament Master
Serra Ascendant
Honor of the Pure
Ajani Goldmane
Elspeth Tirel
for making it a mass token game:
Nomads' Assembly
Edit:
Swing away with the previewd knight from 'Mirrodin Besieged' with battle cry and your soldier tokens from Conqueror's Pledge
Hero of Bladehold 2WW Creature - Human Knight, 3/4 Battle Cry(whenever this creature attacks each other attacking creature gets +1/+0) Whenever Hero of the Bladehold attacks, put two 1/1 Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield tapped and attacking.
This should be the standard by which all instant/sorcery token generators are judged: White Sun's Zenith is great! It outperforms CP when you have more than 7 mana Nomads' Assembly is quite powerful. It beats CP unless the board has been swept recently Bestial Menace is good. It provides the same power as CP. Spectral Procession isn't as efficient as CP, but they fly and come out much earlier Supply can only replace CP if you are worried about the three white in the cost

Not even Adam Styborski can remember that you get more P/T than you pay for
"Put 6 1/1 white Kor Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield, then put 6 +1/+1 counters on each creature you control. If Conqueror's Pledge was kicked, instead put 12 1/1 white Kor Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield, then put 12 +1/+1 counters on each creature you control."
Please never mind the kicker text, we had just run out of good flavour text ideas at the moment Use conqueror's pledge with prudence, preferably just after your opponent is tapped to mutilate, or Wrath you. Hint: notice the sweat that starts to form on his or her forehead after that play Any card that has the word Odric in its name is a good friend of yours examples

-Army combo-
Coat of Arms+Conqueror's Pledge (not kicked)+Martial Coup(X mana paid=5)=
-10 soldiers in total (Martial Coup+Conqueror's Pledge)
-Destroy all opposing creatures (Martial Coup)
-Every single one of the 10 soldiers is +11/+11 (Coat of Arms), thus, total combat damage= 110 combat damage damage
-Mana cost: 12 (Martial Coup+Conqueror's Pledge)
