A rather average card, as you need Fateful hour for it to gain an ability (though a rather good one at that)
And at 5 life, you better have a good plan or you are dead

"And that puts you on 3. Your turn!" "HAHA! You walked right into my trap! I play the Doran, the Siege Tower I've been holding on to for just this moment!" "... can you give it haste?" "Nope, but next turn you are SO dead!" "Why didn't you play Doran like 5 turns ago?" "Cos I put this card in here and I sure as heck plan on using it! Now stop trying to delay the inevitible! Do you concede, or will you try to stop me?!" "Tap a mountain; Lightning Bolt." "... I hate you."

+1/+4 is INTERESTING. I don't even know how highly to value a permanent +0/+4 boost to my entire team.

Yah, I'm going to call it now. They're going to make some sort of Lich card in the next set. It will probably be based on Dorian Gray (famous Gothic horror story) and it will either suck to make up for the synergy with Fateful Hour or they'll throw it on something huge as an extra effect. This card will be alright alongside it since most Lich type cards make you want to block more more than if you hadn't played them.

Except for the fact that the next set is Avacyn Restored.......

Fateful Hour? on an Ironwright?
I wish Wizards had tried to see about buying the right to use
'Renewed shall be blade that was broken the crownless again shall be king'
Possibly in reference to Sorin, Lord of Innistrad's return? (By the way- Sorin actually does seem to be, err...Lord of Innistrad. As in, the Lord of Innistrad, not a Lord. Between his Vampire birthright and the whole 'founded the Church of Avacyn' thing...yeah. I think dude actually owns the whole freaking plane.

A 1/4 soldier for isn't half bad.
As soon as fateful hour engages? Oh my god, you had better run.
How strange... every time I've seen this card I could've sworn its flavor text was "Each year that passes rings you inwardly with memory and might. Wield your heart, and the world will tremble."
Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Oh well.

'Fateful hour' made for some fun games. Good job, R&D.

"And at 5 life, you better have a good plan or you are dead"
That's why +1/+4 is useful. It makes that good plan easier to make.
