Casting cost is to expensive, but the abilities themselves aren't so bad. If you gona run this I recomend a few Heartstones and/or a Meekstone, and/or an Infinate mana combo.

At 4 mana, this might have seen constructed play, though it was contending with Ravenous Baloth. It's only overcosted by 1, maybe 2, and even still this guy was fine for cleaning up limited games.

Run with Preeminent Captain and your overcost issues are solved, well at least for casting him. even then there are still many better soldier combos out there that use Preeminent Captain.

This card actually means a lot to me. When I was really really young and new to magic me and my friends would play super casual magic on the kitchen table; not caring if we had good or bad decks just wanting to have fun and play our big cool Timmy creatures. And this was mine, I couldn't wait to get the mana to play this cool guy, because he was about the only "big" creature I owned.

I just love the flavor. Maybe the cabal sneaks a few sinkholes under the arena, or perhaps they cast nearly invisible spells to guard them. Who knows? Whatever they are gameplay-wise, I still love them.
high CMC for sure. was good limited as I remember. I will be happy to try this in the Doran EDH deck that I am planning. Easily splashable with only 1 colored mana symbol. Two supported tribes, though soldiers supported much more. With that being said though, limited in scope, and probablly too slow even for today's limited environment. 2.5/5

Alternatively, Training Grounds makes this hilarious.
