i don't get why they kept this creature type and even printed it on the cards Icatian Crier and Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII. it's neither a profession nor is it a species, isn't it? townsfolk also got changed to human. so why didn't they change these to human as well, or at least changed townsfolk into human citizen instead?

Quick answer - Nostalgia. This was definitely printed to compliment Hand of Justice, and that relationship is timeshifted as well with Gaze of Justice and the aforementioned citizen-makers.

One of the original token-generators. A decent card back in the days when things like Crusade were powerful, now it is probably a reach for the bum-rush white deck.

Very flavourful, interesting concept. Would have been better as an instant though.

I realize the mana cost on this is high but it makes 4 tokens. There is a card that makes spirit tokens from Eventide.. but this does give you 1 more token that the eventide card wont bring you, its way easier to cast, and 4 chump blockers is not easy to deal with for todays decks.

Even if it is easy and accurate to say that Fallen Empires was a weak expansion, it is very difficult for one to deny that it was a very flavourful set.

A bit more costly than it should be, but it was still an interesting card.

Look to cards like Increasing Devotion to see how badly this has been obsoleted. Still, it occupies its own historical niche in the game.
