If you're playing exalted anything, this card is practically a no brainer.

Makes me angry that Nefarox's deck in DotP 2013 got to use nonbasics, but no other really did.

A new standard for Exalted decks? Coming into play tapped and not producing or mana hurts it, but an Exalted boost from a non-creature source is definitely a Good Thing.

Well, it's no Noble Hierarch, but I'm looking forward to another tool for my Exalted deck that won't set me back $80+ for a playset.

An uncounterable instance of exalted? I'll take it.

This is a nice card, but it's no auto-include. If you're running a casual or modern Bant exalted deck, running 3 colors means you need to be careful on the number of colorless lands your deck has. For standard's White/Black exalted, that problem isn't as big, although you also lose Green which is great for fixing mana. Basically, I love the card, but I don't think my decks want to risk running it.

Lets you swing for 2 on turn 2 with your Memnite, I guess. lol I dunno how I feel about this. That's a lot of drawbacks...I'll save judgement until I try it in a deck.

Good mechanic, but it comes into play tapped and provide only colorless mana, so not a 4-of even in an exalted deck. After all, you need enough momentum in the beginning that the drawback could instead hinder you.

The best thing about this card? You don't have to use it in an exalted deck. Basically any monocolored aggro deck can benefit from this card, assuming you don't run very color-strict cards.

I know this card has had something of a lukewarm reception among players, but after playing with it in Limited I am definitely interested in drafting it highly. It reminds me of the lands that can be cycled late-game for precious spells, except this costs nothing and promises to be an immediate threat--big or small depending on your current board position of course. I'd hate to get two of these in an opening hand, but I could be very happy with one.

The problem is that you're sacrificing both tempo and color-fixing for a small pump.

could be better by not coming in tapped, but exalted can be fast without this normally
I like this card. If I have 2 or more on the field along with Sublime how many exalt is it 1 for the angel and 1 for each Cathedral of War that is on the field? What about if I have 2 Cathedral of War along with 4 other creatures and 1 Sublime and I swing with 1 creature how many exalt add? would each creature get exalted from Cathedral of War 1st and then an additional exalt because of sublime? would that be a 12 swing if swinging with 1 creature?

I am a pro so I know which cards to use for which decks. This card should be in an exalted deck.

Don't think about this card as a must for Exalted decks. Think about it as HIGHLY useful in monocolor aggro decks. Won't hurt tempo much and the buff is very good.

The last draft I went to, I somehow ended up with three of these. The guy to my left opened all 3, and I somehow got to 6th pick the first and third, and first pick the second (which was foil). That was a fun draft deck, I tell you what.
Another nice 1-of for decks, especially if they have man-lands. If you are man-landing, it's unlikely you have multiple attackers. If you have this out you may get an extra couple damage from it; which may win the game for you. Still; getting multiples of colorless mana and EtbT lands to pump your *no creatures* (if you're being controlled) is a sad thing to see.
Still, really cool to put this into a deck here and there and get the occasional boost.

This card has several applications in my deck...it works well with Krenko the Mob Boss and Feral Animist. Krenko can multiply the creatures that would have Exalted, and Feral Animist's ability to double its power can come in handy if it's activated during the battle phase.

Cool card. I love the art and idea of it. It would probably be a bit too good if it didn't come in tapped (like inkmoth nexus...), but it wouldn't break anything. It's a colourless land and right after M13, we moved into ravnica - a multi-coloured set.
I still love the card though and try to use it wherever I can.

It can wreck your tempo if you aren't careful, but done right that additional exalted trigger can make a big difference over time.

Worth considering: oince you're losing 1 mana (and color capabilities) when playing this over a normal land, you're attaching +1/+1 to something for 1 mana. Not great, not terrible.

A no brainer in a monocolored voltron edh deck. Turns Skittles into a two turn clock instead of three just by itself.
