Not as useful as some of the other mages, but at least you can give itself haste...if you have the mana.

I think this is my favorite mage since giving any creature haste for R can be very useful.

Not earthshaking, but a good utility piece. One mana for granting haste is about the right cost, and 2 power for a 2 CMC creature is reasonable.

He's a direct upgrade over Whip Sergeant. Unless you want to give a partner's creatures haste in multiplayer? I guess whip sergeant would be strong in M12 limited against illusions.

Dont forget, it can also be a 2/1 haste for 3, which is pretty solid considering he gives other guys haste too. forget

That's some unfortunate wording on that reminder text. So, my Wall can attack now?

I suspect he might be a little overshadowed by Fervor in a lot of cases now, though by no means all.

Comparisons to Fervor are interesting; This guy uses activated abilities, though, which is something that differentiates them. For example, this guy can kill Phantasmal Image, or function helpfully in multiplayer.

And he can, ya know, block and attack and be sacrificed and various other creature only things.

Goblin Piker has one of the most supported creature types in all of magic. Human has only recently had support and most of it's white; Shaman I can't name much support for bar Kinship. This card is mostly better, but in no way is it strictly.

Haste only until end of turn? Lame! If I'm gonna spend my hard-earned red mana, I darn well better get my mana's worth!
