This is actually pretty exciting. It's a relevantish creature type on the tokens. I wanna run them with Field Marshal, Veteran Armorsmith, etc.

Springjack Shepherd's big brother. For 2 more mana, you get 1/1s instead of 0/1s, and they have a much more relevant creature type.

At least 3 chump blocks when your behind and enough forces to win the game when your ahead. The body is meh, but you have to cut your loses somewhere.

Oh Wizards - why do all our flicker effects ( cloudshift, restoration angel, Emancipation angel) cycle out as these come in? SO fun to flicker.

Curves out nicely from Godhead of Awe for 7 tokens that are as big as any other monster in play. Alternatively, curves out from Nobilis of War for 7 tokens that swing for lethal next turn.

If this was CMC 4 it would be an excellent card. As it is, I find it unplayable. WoTC please give us some decent White devotion cards in the next set.

More for limited and casual than constructed competitive, but in those formats it's all kinds of nice. My experience with Theros limited has seen a lot of stalled out board states and this can easily fix that.

Gorgeous Nils Hamm art is just a cherry on top.

What if I had a Little Girl on the battlefield?

I'm sure there will never be an official ruling (at least I hope not) so it would half to come down to local opinion.

Do we round down (or up)? Boring.

Do we get a soldier with half/half? Hm...

Or a 0/1 goat token?

Or do you tear a token in half and put one of those halves on the battlefield?

The teaming up of this and Phalanx Leader gave me a pretty flashy turnaround victory in a limited game, last night.

This is actually QUITE good in THS-block Limited the more tools we get for a White Weenie (or W/x Weenie) deck. I actually 1st-placed a Sealed tourny on MTGO today with a W/B deck that had a few plans of attack -- but one of its main win cons was to combine Evangel of Heliod with Phalanx Leader (with some Heroic triggers of course), and Spear of Heliod to "go wide". Getting between six and ten 2/2 Soldiers that IMMEDIATELY become 3/3's is no joke!

Is this card a White Gray Merchant? HELL no. But, built around in Limited he can truly be just about as powerful.

@Continue: You're comparing an Uncommon to a Mythic Rare. Of course the uncommon is going to compare unfavourably. Now, personally, I don't think Mythic Rares should automatically be better than less rare cards, like they unfortunately often are, but the fact of the matter is that that's the way that WotC wants it to be. In either case, I still prefer Springjack Shepherd over either of them. I tell you, nothing can beat goats, man.
