Another Gatecrash card that looks to take its influence from Dinotopia.

Now this is value. Common, 3/1 for 2cmc, splashable, potential to have evasion. Comparable to Porcelain Legionnaire. Sure, this is obviously not as good as the latter, but the Legionnaire was really something worth of an uncommon to be honest.

This dude is the embodiment of conformity. I won't do something dangerous unless my friends pressure me into it.

What a badass. He leaps into the saddle off the side of whatever building he may be on. xD

Decent body for the mana but the battlion trigger is a big conditional to have two other attacking creatures to give it flying. Its better used with cheap pumps.

3/5? Are you guys serious? This card is amazing! At least a 4/5.

A 3/1 for 2 mana is useful any day of the week.
Having said 3/1 get flying when it attacks with 2 other creatures, and happens to be printed in a set full of cards that can easily make this happen? Icing on the cake.

I love this card. This is one of the creatures that makes me believe Battalion could see some constructed play (besides Frontline Medic, but that thing doesn't really count, since it was essentially made to hose spells). It has an extremely aggressive body, gains evasion, and a deck that wants to trigger Battalion will trigger Battalion by at least turn three. After that, swinging for 6-8 a turn (in the air what's more with War Falcon and Skyknight Legionnaire) is not difficult at all and cards like Boros Charm will end a fight before a slower deck can wipe the board and save themselves. This little guy is strong. Very strong.

It's too bad he had to be human. If he were a hound, three of him attacking and activating Battalion could be a triple-dog-dare.

As far as casual white knights, Leonin Skyhunter is probably better overall because of its reliability.

its 3 power for 2 mana with upside. That's pretty good

Another weenie that essentially needs his Boros buddies (Boros Elite) to be truly effective, but his Battalion is essentially a free ability in weenie decks and a 3/1 flyer on turn 3 is great.
