The only bad thing about Daru Warchiefs, in my mind, is how often they get countered when I try to play them. That's how afraid of this card my friends became after I built a white Soldier deck around four copies of it. Being able to answer the question "What power and toughness is that 1/1 Soldier token now?" with "5/9" (or greater; I run two Oathsworn Giants in that deck, too, not to mention Glorious Anthem) is a wonderful feeling.

well, once he's in play he's a 2/3. They printed him back before lords all started gettign the OTHER creatures tags.

Phantom Flock and that = immortal in combat Phantom Flock but still can't see reason why it has 1 toughness instead of 2 like Black Warchief.

4x Daru Warchief, 2x Ajani Goldmane, and 4x Field Marshal are great for a fast soldier deck with lots of low-cost first strikers. See how many people attack you with creatures when you have beefed-up first strikers; not too many. Granted, burn tears up this deck.

Should Be A 2/2 AtLeast I Mean Look At Him Hes Huge But I Like This Card Alot....Oh Ok I Was Just Automatically Thinkin Other Soldiers Allright 2/3 Not Bad At All Then
This guy has won many battles for me in both standard and extended and has gained my respect in the battlefield :). I will really miss him, soldier decks are just not the same without him around... i wish it is reprinted

This whole cycle's flavour is that they use the Moxen around their necks ^_^

@boneclub Oh never noticed that, pretty cool =) I honestly believe that for a soldier deck this guy is the best out there. Whenever I play him everyone in my playgroup sits up and starts looking for some relevant removal, best compliment for a creature I guess ^^

This guy seems fun in soldier deck. Too bad I haven't seen one, so couldn't have seen this in game so far...
This card is is perfect for soldier decks, helping you get out more expensive lords like Captain of the Watch a turn earlier while beefing up your other soldiers and itself along the way.

One of my favorite measurements of lord quality is how good they are in multiples. The old landwalk lords weren't so great. This is incredible.
The warchiefs are not wearing the moxen, they are wearing the Medallion cycle. This guy is wearing Pearl Medallion, and gives all his soldiers Holy Strength, whereas his black counterpart gives them Unholy Strength. Nice touch!

Undead Warchief and Daru Warchief do not say other creatures therefore they buff buff themselves making Undead a 3/2 and Daru a 2/3. Boy oh boy do they laugh at the rest of the Warchiefs...

He has a pretty big backside of being a walking wall of meat literally bristling with organic weaponry. :p
does 1 the one less include itself in the casting cost effect?

Since I'm not the kind of guy that will mill my own wallet, I'm very fortunate that I got 4 of these back in the days via booster packs and trading.

Soldiers are the only tribe that had both a Warchief and a Banneret. You can't tell me that isn't abusable!

@Kirbster Goblins did too, but not in-colour like Soldiers.

This card is an absolute must for any soldier deck for obvious reasons, casting cost reduction and +1/+2 is very hard to beat in any creature type deck.
