Strictly better and strictly less adorable than Sanctuary Cat.

I know it's early still and not many votes are in, but how does Sanctuary Cat rate a 4+ and this is <2.5? It has an extra ability and better typing, all at the same mana cost and rarity.
It's quite easy to explain, really. The internet loves cats.

@ powercat Because cats are cute, but the idea of some frankly rather douchey looking bloke who can 'scare away' a blocking Falkenrath Marauders (beefed up or not) and go toe-to-toe with a Markov Blademaster and possibly win is as depressing as a remake of Beauty and the Beast with Gaston killing the beast and marrying Belle

I should NEVER have to say "strictly worse than Sanctuary Cat." Wizards, WTF

{W} for a 1/2, with a pertinent protection is worth well more than mid 2's. 3.5/5

How is this rated so low, I would say Sanctuary Cat has an appropriate rating around 4, this is the same thing with protection from vampires and two useful creature types, 5 out of 5
"So, in this next set we have to make the players really feel that the forces of white mana, the humans, the angels are winning. That Avacyn is back and all the holy wards are working and humanity feels safer now. Any ideas for how we go about this?"
"Um...we could have a white enchantment that prevent non-humans from attacking unless they pay some mana, like a Ghostly Prison variant card. And we could-"
"You're fired. The answer was 'reprint Angel's Mercy again and throw in lots of protection.' Honestly, that was obvious, don't know how you missed that. Now, to go find some respectable dark ascension card designs and print some slightly strictly better variants so that we can sell this crap to newbies already." (Talking about Sanctuary Cat vs this and Skillful Lunge vs Zealous Strike, by the way.)

@ Powercat: The reason why this has less of a rating then Sanctuary Cat is because Sanctuary Cat can block Strom while this cannot. Sure it has protection from Vampires and such, but the only vampire that is threatening turn ONE is Stromkirk Noble, which cannot be blocked by humans (and guess what this is?). Other then that, this is a 1 mana chump blocker for other Non-flying vampires. Prop Vampires really only blocks target vampires, as most threatening vampires except for a few examples are either Flying or Prop Human.
Sanctuary Cat is a Cat that can block vamps with the same power/toughness. Stromkirk Noble is the reason Sactuary Cat is rated better then this card.
This card can get Human Buffs, but Sanctuary is a much better turn 1 vs Vamps then this guy

It's hilarious that, despite being better than Sanctuary Cat anywhere but in a cat deck, this guy is rated worse.

@flavor text: Why is he even revenging against Avacyn?

What? It's his desire for vengeance against vampires, not Avacyn.

I want to like him, but a 1 power body , and very situational protection outside of standard is telling me not too.
This guy makes me want to construct my own duel deck. Vampires vs Humans. Doing that now.

This guy has a more relevant type too.
