I like the first strike bit more than anything else. I loves me some first strike.

Seems like this would go really well with or against infect - could be pretty useful in limited for that reason alone. Shame it can't be used defensively, but that's red for you.

As long as you have at least 3 creatures on the board, it's worth it. RW Battlecry deck will be looking at this one for their finisher.

@ kryptnyt I have to agree. Time of Heroes is generally useless, but will absolutely shine in a level-up deck. In the right deck for this card, there'll still be a good number of better and perfectly affordable cards to use in its place.

I'm confused. Wizards has that comic thing that details the story going on. Does this event happen or not?

5/5 for flavor and art alone. The ability is great too; first strike is awesome against infect

Pft. It saved me in numerous times in limited. Could work in standard.

A companion card for Into the Core ? Compare the art and perspective of the two cards... and then the flavor text! "Drive them back! Make their underworld into their grave!" ... "They believe they're driving us back, but we're leading them to their doom."

First strike is much more amazing defensively than offensively. Then again, this is a red card, so it has to be considerably nerfed in that regard. However, I can see with the emergence of Battle Cry how this can be really powerful. Then again, Contested War Zone is just a better card overall even taking into account the lack of first strike.
I can't believe this card is rated so low. In Battlecry decks this thing is beast mode. In not Battlecry its still pretty good. +1/+0 isn't much but being able to give ALL of your guys First Strike at the same time is well worth at least 2cmc so I'll gladly take an extra +1/+0. Against an even match-up or even slightly off kilter (i.e.- 3/1 vs a 6/4 Alpha Tyrranax) your opponent loses big. That shifts entire games plain and simple. Unless most of your critters already have First or Double Strike, which is possible, this card is worth putting in any deck creature heavy aggressive deck that might still be playing after the third or fourth round.

This is probably better than Headlong Rush and Savage Offensive.

The one buff spell any Aurochs deck needs.

A great card, but it has been supplanted by Weapon Surge. Cheaper and more flexible (given that it affects all creatures you control, rather than just attacking creatures).
Rally the Forces might have some use in multiplayer situations, but for the bulk of it's purposes, its time is over.
