Eh...Really just a middling effect, and for four mana it's difficult to justify it.

RATING: 2/5

The cost is about more than it should be... But it's still nice and creative for a Bant deck.

use it with baneslayer angel.

like with whispersilk cloak and/or big creatures

Your single attacker becomes Seasoned Marshall until end of turn!!!

It goes great in a Exaluted deck matched with silent arabtor. it is a power full card.

It has the same cost as Gerrard's activated ability. That is all.

Incredible art on a decent card. It really should have cost {2}{W}.

So beautiful! I love this art! Yes though, sadly the ability is not as sexy as the art, but this is probably playable in bant decks. One of the worst Exalted cards. Compare what you get here with other four coster exalted cards: Rafiq of the Many, (Okay, not quite fair, he is legendary and three color), Rhox Charger, Outrider of Jhess. It is almost always better than the outrider of jhess, but outclassing a mono blue creature is not really bragging rights.

If you want a similar effect in your Bant theme'd deck, may I suggest Diversionary Tactics?

Firmly mediocre. 2/5

This card is not the problem. Exalted in standard is. It is easily chump blocked, kill spelled, returned to hand, etc... This card is great. Combined with, say, Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis you get to sac a creature then tap one more. 2 of these also stack, so that's 2 tapped. The possibilities are endless. You probably don't want to run 4 of them, but it could be powerful in the right hands.

For the exact same cost, I would rather cast Sidar Jabari. Obviously there are pros and cons of creature vs enchantment, but with Sidar, I have another tool to whittle my opponent's life away and kill his creatures. Plus I'm not limited to attacking with only 1 creature to get the tapping benefit.
