And Sun Titan! This should make an awesome 6 drop for white.

Way too expensive for white weenie, IMHO. Odric will be a much better replacement for Hero of Bladehold.

Lovely Card And No Doubt Will Be Excellent In Limited As Well As It Has Been In Edh.

Would be nice if this made Human Soldier tokens, but beggars can't be choosers. Intangible Virtue makes this quite good as a high-drop (if you want one), however, giving you three 3/3 dudes with vigilance when this hits the board.

hello there Blind_At_Heart. Did your MasterOfEtherium account finally get banned or something?

This after a Cathars' Crusade - one 7/7 and three 6/6 tokens seems quite good for 4WW.
Also, this is going to be into Odric's intro pack. Definetly the time to pick one up for my humans EDH deck.

9 power that's vigilant for 6 mana? Sign me up.

Out of Sun Titan's shadow, it's finally time for this lovely lady to shine.

So the person next to me decided to pass me this card in draft and then I beat him with it in the final round. I went 6-0 and played Captain of the Watch twice. This card is awesome in limited.

I wouldn't say that she's a "bad" card, just really expensive considering that soldiers tend to be geared more toward a white weenie playstyle, especially when you can always just pump your tokens with Intangible Virtue for a third of the cost.

6 mana for a 3/3 vigilance and three 2/2s with vigilance is a very good deal, though.

A target for Angel of Glory's Rise reanimation/graveyard deck.

give this card a flying enchantment and its way better than voice of the provinces. imagine this, Odric, The Master Tactician , and the Crusader of Odric on the same field

Won several games yesterday with this card combined with Odric, Master Tactician, Crusader of Odric, and Champion of the Parish. Played Honor of the Pure last turn GG. This card is expensive, especially for a white weenie deck, but if you're able to cast 2 of them back to back with an Odric on the field it's great to see the look on their face.

So for 6 mana, you get 4 Creatures with a combination of 9 Power and 9 Toughness (given that the toughnesses are 3/2/2/2) and 3 of them have Vigilance.... xD

>_> don't forget the rest of the soldiers you have...

@AlphaWolfs
actually all 4 have vigilance, the captain has it independently of its lord ability

Pro tip: Play this card in a deck with a lot of soldiers and you will be a beast.

4WhiteWhite for a 3/3 and 3 2/2s, all with vigilance? That seems amazing in Limited and looks like it has potential in Constructed. 4/5

What happens if my captain of the watch dies in the begining of a combat phase. Does her soldier tokens still get +1/+1 and vigilance ? (yes i am noob)

This + Nephalia Smugger = lots of little soldiers.

So surprised why people keep complaining about this card.....

This card is a BOMB in Type2. Battalion, the new mechanic in Boros guild, requires 3 creatures to attack at the same time. And it seems like this girl could give all you need within the next turn.

Isn't it good enough?? I like it.

infinite reflection

that being said, this is a great card. Can really swing things in your favor if you need a lot of blockers late in the game and I'm sure she would be a beast with the battalion mechanic. Also Odric's best buddy

You could throw this in with Conjurer's Closet, Cathar's Crusade and Healer of the Pride for three 6/6 soldiers and +4/+4 on all your other creatures and 8 life every turn

Trostani, Builder's Blessing and the Captain = 9 extra power and 17 lifegain! Trostani and the Captain = 9 power + 9 life-gain!

lets see, cloudshift Glimmerpoint Stag and if they are silly enough to kill or remove it defy death. in a soldier deck, this is a one card army

This card is in a mono white soldier token deck of mine. Her and Elesh are best friends. Add a cloudshift and a captains call to the mix, then Odric Master Tactician and finally a Crusader of Odric with a whisperslik cloak and you win the game.

I remember when he first came out, I splashed Blue in my solider deck to unsummon him. Now with cloudshift you can do it better in mono white.
