They have Purphoros's ability, how cute!

If I was six people I'd be able to attack without tapping as well.

Hey, look. It's the party alluded to in the flavor text of Canyon Minotaur!

White doesn't get a lot of hill giants, so a hill giant with two upsides is quite cool. Even at uncommon.

I really like the amount of Vigilance creatures in white this set, because it pairs funnily with all the Inspiration enablers.

Sweet in limited, but I was hoping Akros would get more mighty warriors in this set. I'm crossing my fingers for the arrival of Iroas and the rest of his followers.

Awesome art, great flavor! Sadly wasted on cardboard garbage aka limited only filler card...

Shields up! Spears out! heels-
Umm, sir? maybe we should move further from the edge of this cliff.

Art is certainly indicative of Thermopylae.

The buff is repeatable, but too expensive for anything but a mana sink. I've been spoiled by Moonviel Dragon, I supposed.

Strictly better than Mercenaries.

Not strictly better than Mercenaries, you can't just assume their different creature types are irrelevant. Stop being that guy mis-using "strictly better" on gatherer (it's almost never appropriate).

As a casual player, I really appreciate how well-rounded this card is. Admittedly it isn't your "spike-ish" competitive bomb at 4 cmc, but at lower levels of play, this is quite formidable without it being too "op", which is quite nice.

I'm surprised this card doesn't have Madness...

@Shadowcaster

They appear to be defending a bridge, presumably to stop something getting over it.
