Sure, he's not bad, but whenever I read him I just think 'meh'.

They made him 3/4 instead of 3/5 because they didn't want him to be strictly better than siege mastodon. Good thing too because that would have been terrible.

He's not bad. a 4/4 for 5 isn't bad, but instead of giving that extra point of toughness to itself it gives it to all your other creatures with battle cry.

@Gezus82: he's not 4/4, he's 3/4. Read the ability.
I'd actually take Berserkers of Blood Ridge over this crap. And that's having not even played with battle cry.

I like him just because of the political refrence. For those you don't understand, it's a white elphant partisan. :D

Oh well, he's a decent sized soldier with battle cry.

@DacenOctavio: maybe the reason you'd rather run the berserkers is because you haven't run battle cry. imagine attacking with the berserkers and 3 1/1's nothing much right? your opponent blocks the berserkers with a 5+ toughness wall and takes 3. no big deal. with the partisan you've got a guy that turns those 3 1/1's into 2/1's in essence, all you need is at least two more creatures than the partisan for it to be more attacking power than the berserkers. the partisan is clearly a better choice

I actually really like this guy in my soldier EDH deck. Sure, Hero of Bladehold is better, but I need all the battle-cry I can get. He usually only costs one-two less thanks to Ballyrush Banneret or Daru Warchief and he's a decent body. Plus, he gets all the soldier buffs unlike the Hero. Vigilant buffed battle cry with first strike is nothing to shake a fist at, especially with that decent body.

What's with the flavor text? Are the Mirrans British now? "Tally-ho chaps and have at the rotters and afterwards we can all enjoy some high tea back at camp."
He's playable, I suppose. Could have been a 4/4 or 3/5, though. Probably needs tokens to really be worth playing as he is now, I think.

Come on, he's a 3! Give him a 3 :D
Below the curve but on a very admirable creature type and supports the tribe well! I think the Warchief is enough to justify him turn 4 (if you have any acceleration )

Come on, he's got to be worth at least 3 and a half. You rotters.
