I predict this may turn out to be one of the most underrated cards in the set. Giving lifelink to ANY creature with an emergency chump blocker for only 2 CMC is worth at least a sideboard, I think.
Free 2/1 with every order of Spirit Loop! Order now! Of course, the analogy fails because the pilgrim here won't return to your hand if he dies, but he's definitely reusable.

@JRE47: Absolutely! Played him at the pre-release today, soooo sweet! 4.5/5
@JRE47 I'd like to agree, and sure in the prerelease this did nasty things, but t2 is full of removal, and this is just too weak... it gives lifelink to any creature, but you are one gut shot away from losing both this and the creature it gave lifelink to. Plus lifegain isn't an actually powerful effect for white weenie in standard: if the board gets dominated by the other player, it won't mind if you have 20 or 35 life: you won't catch up. That's why in constructed I don't see it being any playable. I'd rather pay one more for tandem lookout for a really powerful effect (And then again I'm not sure even the tandem will make it since it's vulnerable aswell)

Would have been much cooler as a 2/3 for . In this way, it's would be much more likely to soulbind with a creature already in play, f.e. a Knight on turn 2.

In a race for quick damage, this guy rocks. How great is an extra 6-10 life when you are playing lots of aggressive creatures who can damage quickly. The opponent has an even bigger job to do and gives you more time to sneak in those late attackers.

This is an amazing card IMO, it's amazing at how much it can wreck aggro, my fav is T1 Champ of the Parish, T2 this guy (No Pair), T3 Silverblade Paladin (Pair with this guy) T4 double Honor of the Pure, proceed to attack for 2 creatures with 4 power, double strike and lifelink, along with having a 5/5 blocker on top of that.
I also like to pair with Elite Inquisitor, pretty much anything with first/double strike is awesome with this guy
Put them together and you have a 2/2 and a 2/1 with Doublestrike and Lifelink.

I almost feel like, as a cleric, it should have been a 1/2. His real strength is in his ability to turn your other beaters into life sources anyways, so toughness should have been a higher priority. I like my creatures able to actually block more than once.
I like this guy. 'bond him up with Boros Reckoner, Cast Mangara's Equity,and then goose 'em a lil. Voila! Infinite life.

Im kinda of a noob still but like this guy for genesis elfs for modern with dauntless escort and boros reckoner for a life loop combo a swarm elf BP and a quick response with genesis wave since it puts him into play then u an manage with reckoner and escort to the 'infinite life combo' while bashing over with elf with ezuri and craterhoof to grow big, restoration angel to reuse some stuff and village bell ringer for untapping the tap elfs and birds of paradise, still working on it its personal build but don't take me seriously i am still a noob ._.
