Pointed Discussion

There's a Glorious Charge inside just waiting to be released.
I really like this design.

Good for Morbid effects, to bad most of those are in Green and Black.

Pretty usefull, for a one drop. Could add a few in a human or token deck if you want to be really aggressive.

Continued from Gatstaf Howler

There are 7 non-Human cards that work with humans, there are 0 that are Anti-Human that are not creatures, but 2 Vampires that have more power against Humans, and Moonmist which I can't say is Anti anything.

Angelic Overseer
Bonds of Faith
Butcher's Cleaver
Dearly Departed
Sharpened Pitchfork
Silver-Inlaid Dagger
Spare from Evil (Kinda I guess)
Night Revelers (Anti-Human)
Stromkirk Noble (Anti-Human)

They may not have as many as Zombies, but humans have pretty impressive equipment, that is one of the reasons I feel they are the second best tribe.

There are 37 non-Werewolf/Vampire/Zombie/Spirit Humans, I won't Autocard them all, but I will Autocard all the White and Green ones, since that is their colors, the blue ones are better support for Zombies usually, and I will only include the obvious ones for the Human tribe.

Avacyn's Pilgrim
Elder of Laurels
Hamlet Captain
Avacynian Priest
Champion of the Parish
Elder Cathar
Elite Inquisitor
Fiend Hunter
Mentor of the Meek
Mikaeus, the Lunarch
Selfless Cathar
Slayer of the Wicked
Thraben Sentry/Thraben Militia
Unruly Mob
Village Bell-Ringer

And that's all the very human humans that are green or white, now the other reasons I think Humans are second best tribe, they have a lot of anti human hate going on and they are the most numerous, almost every deck in Innistrad will probably have to run at least one human, they can fill a lot of roles. I put Humans below Zombies because the Zombies are overall more powerful and have a lot of non-creature support, but good zombie decks will run some Humans most likely.

I don't want to run out of room, so I will continue on Gallows Warden.

Convenient trigger for Thraben Sentry/Thraben Militia.

He is sacrificing himself on a Blazing Torch.
Edit: Look at the art on the Torch. It's the same.

I love how the flavourtext is like "Hey, this is how you can use him."

All hail the upside-down Omega. Kind of a lazy design for an emblem, don't you think?

This guy saved my ass repeatedly at the pre-release. I had only 2, but every single game I won was with his help. Flying spirit creature tokens love him.

This same guy died moments later in a Blasphemous Act. They didn't even wait for him to get out of the church.

This guy carried my pre release deck. I had Thraben Sentry attacking as a 2/2. NBD, they thought, as they blocked it. Then I sacked this guy, my sentry flipped to a 6/5 trample while still untapped. Got to use that effect in just about every game. So hot.

Synergy with Thraben Sentry and Unruly Mob.

you want morbid? Sergei give you morbid!

This card doesn't seem very good at first (not bad either, mind you, a 1/1 for 1 with an ability would be hard pressed to actually be bad) but you have to consider it within it's block rather than just taking it on it's own as so many people seem to do. Consider this card's synergy with Unruly Mob and Thraben Sentry and any of the many Morbid cards in Innistrad. I like this card and it's combo with Unruly mob is the core of my Human tribal pauper deck.

A Child of Thorns that costs 2 mana to activate its ability, but gives the bonus to all creatures...decisions, decisions.

Obvious Avacyn symbol is obvious.

Isn't this a real-world reference?

Give him an Avacyn's Collar or two before you sac him. A great enabler for Unruly Mob and Thraben Militia.
