Wow, that ability should cost mana and only be usable while you have three or more colors of mana in your mana pool.

...And should require you to control a multicolored permanent.

I entirely agree. That ability is both painfully specific and not all that useful.

Any why did this guy become a Human as opposed to an Orc or something during the The Grand Creature Type Update?

I played this a couple of nights ago and my friends just started laughing... clearly not destined for the Hall of Fame.

For what it is worth, he did manage to ride shotgun on a 1/1 flier and create about 3 extra points of damage for me.

1/5

yes, but only if you don't control a permanent with 3 or fewer colors. Then it wouldn't be so OP

I get the flavour basis for most of the effect, but the snow land thing? Come on that's piling it on a little thick.

Old cards always had to throw in some random disadvantage clause to any remotely useful ability.

Infantry Veteran costs 1 less but cannot give it's bonus to blockers. This guy can give his bonus to both attackers and blockers because nobody plays with snowcovered lands these days. So why is IV 2.5 and this 0,7? Don't say it's because you are too afraid of this guy dying.

It's a 1/1 for 2, with an OK ability. It's a 1/5, maybe 1.5/5. It's certainly not a .5/5

I like that flavorwise, this guy is a smaller, weaker version of Kjeldoran Elite Guard. In terms of function, this can be pretty bad card disadvantage, and isn't very useful as a 1/1 for 1White. There are tons of human soldiers that are better at 2 mana.

Should be a Human Mutant Soldier.

Flavourful, well done. The reason I play with their cards rather than making my own.

Stay frosty, Kjeldoran Guard. 5/5
