Crusade is better.

Crusade is a different thing since it cost WhiteWhite.

Honor of the Pure is superior to both of them nonetheless.

Actually it's Jihad, but cheaper and much, much worse. Not that Jihad is all that good a card either.

I was at a total as to how to explain this card's flavour. It definitely has all the hallmarks of one those old school flavor-first designs that only make sense if you already know what they're trying to tie it in with. I think Ideatog is right though. This appears to bes an updated (now outdated) take on Jihad - the flavour kind of fails to make the transition though. At least Jihad was kind of cool/not an annoying thing to keep track of.

Strictly more complicated than Honor of the Pure.

Between the oracle and the rulings, they should have called this one War and Peace!

Wait, the ruling reads 'nontoken permanents'.

That's kind of annoying. Tokens are colours too!

useful but highly complicated, but most people do tend to play more of one color than any other. Works in EDH. Here you can only have 1 of each card anyway.

BIVRiiiiiiiiiiP!!
While those do seem to be shields they kind of look like they could be fake hands too, Belwar Disengulp's hands.
