Not that I care about the card at all, but it gets a 3/5 from me just for having one of the strangest names of all the cards in Magic. It's up there with Hyalopterous Lemure (coincidentally, also from Ice Age).

@The_Trendkill: In what way is the name strange? A phalanx is simply a military formation, and the soldiers which constitute it are obviously from Kjeldor, thus they are a "Kjeldoran Phalanx". Simple, really.

I like the facist flavor text.

I resent this card, deeply, for taking up multiple rare slots in multiple packs that I opened. So expensive. So not worth it.

I love me some banding, but creatures with banding were almost all over costed if they were larger than 1/1

I've put down some serious casual beats with this guy. 4/5 for nostalgia and the art.

3.5/5 because banding with high toughness can be kind of powerful in groups. It's overcosted, true, but if you're playing a banding deck these days it's fairly obvious it's only going to be seeing casual play. I'm tempted to put a banding deck together though, just to take to the game store and confuse all the people who have never heard of it.

Banding is great with first strike, and it's great with huge tougness. Having both, though, is probably unnecessary, and has unfortunately warranted a huge mana cost. He's cool, but six mana is really just too much.
