It would be a lot better if it was only your own creatures that got the +1/+1 bonus. Overall however its still a good card.

if it was only your own it'd be strictly better than Glorious Anthem.

Glorious Anthem gives +1/+1 regardless of color; Divine Sacrament require the creature to be white.

Fail reading is fail.

I run four of these in my Weenie deck along side a Pegasus Stampede.

Good card, but it could spell trouble if your opponent is also running white >_>

well also most people who use glorious anthem are already running weenie, and it has to have double white so its usually white weenie. then this is better

Arachobia's Named Card Comments: Divine

At time of writing, this is the highest ranked 'Divine' card.

To be honest, I don't see why. Glorious Anthem costs the same and only boosts your creatures, regardless of color. Honor of the Pure is a cheaper boost for white creatures.

Sure, it can potentially give an extra +2/+2 instead of +1/+1 life the other two. But if your opponent also is running white, it helps them too. Worse, in putting more stuff in your graveyard, another white player can be gaining card advantage an boosting his own creatures more.

Against non-white decks its certainly tempting to run this instead of Honor or Anthem. But its inclusion in the main deck is debatable. I can see this as a side-deck option if your opponent isn't using white (or you have some way of countering white if they are), to replace your Anthem or Honor. But, then again, that may just be wasting a good side deck option.

I'm not saying this card is awful, it's not bad and can be helpful. But its inclusion in a deck over the alternatives is questionable.

Looks good at first, but Threshold is not easy to get in most White decks.
