Well, pretty much every random utility card is a Human, so there's that. Opposing decks will often still have one or two blockers if they're just playing cards without regard to tribal, with things like the M12 Mages and about half the Ravinica Guildmages.

Incredibly powerful outside of Standard, especially (for instance) in Commander. Think what (small) percentage of creatures on the board are Human.
Nicely designed card, almost a bit overpowered.

Humans have comprised a large portion printed creatures through most of Magic's history, as will likely remain the case.
It's chances of being 100% effective are somewhat better than Doom Blade, but for a much more powerful effect.
Only time will tell how well this card fares past Innistrad.

I am curious...
Will this card offer creatures protection from something like Mikaeus, the Lunarch? I know he's a human, but he's also a cleric (which to me would be non-human creature type), how does that interact with this card?

MashedPotatoJones, it means that your creatures gain Protection from all creatures WITHOUT the Human Creature Type. It could be a "Creature - Demon Devil Horror Nightmare Beast Human," for example, and your guys wouldn't get protection from it.

Translation: Creatures you control gain protection from Innistrad until end of turn.

Does a good job getting your Storm Crows through, seeing as that most humans do not fly.

I have 4 of these in my W/U Standard Spirit deck. Which means this card pretty much reads, "For 2 mana, my creatures become unblockable until end of turn" since most spirits fly, while most humans don't.

if incase my opponent has a wormcoil and it's eqquiped with sword that has the protection from white, and i'm activating this, will my 1 white spirit survives the attack? if it does then it's good for the wall deck then...

@therangersolid: well, your spirit does gain protection from Wurmcoil Engine, which means the wurm can't deal damage to it, but if said wurm has protection from white your spirit still can't block it. And what exactly does it have to do with walls?
I'm not sure if I like it. Sure, it can either let your attackers pass through unblocked or let your blockers survive combat. But, still, it's quite conditional (not "build around it" conditional, but "hope your opponent's decks don't contain humans" conditional) and I'm not sure if its effect makes up for such conditionality. Not even in limited.

Yes, my tongue is solidly planted in my cheek.
