Would this work well with creatures with persist?

With persist I guess you get an extra use out of the enchantment. I'd prefer token generators over that though.

Highly underrated and often overlooked, this enchantment could possibly be one of the most powerful defensive cards. By attaching cards such as Pattern of Rebirth to token creatures that you can generate with Deranged Hermit, Ant Queen, Captain of the Watch, etc. Also look out for cards with similar abilities as Weatherseed Treefolk. Urza's Block was really vibrant with powerful abilities.

The flavor text is kind of insulting.

I had no idea Shaggy joined up in the army after his mystery-solvin' days were over.

That's exactly what i thought! It's like saying soldiers are good for nothing other than to die. What, NONE of you find that insulting?

@Cloudchaser.Kestrel: The oracle text says that it just has to target a creature or player. In fact, this must happen BEFORE the damage, because it's activated. You can use this a hundred times to prevent the next hundred instances of damage to yourself if you'd like to, even if none are apparent. It isn't triggered, and doesn't say "If you would take damage, you may sacrifice a creature", or anything like that.

Annoying because it can prevent damage dealt by creatures that are normally untargetable, things like Thrun, The Last Troll and Progenitus since it targets the creature or player that will receive the damage.

Azredknightz - I don't think they're saying dying is a soldier's ONLY talent. Just that soldiers are good at dying, which I don't think anyone can dispute.
Could you use this to protect yourself from an imaginary threat? I'm looking for a in flavor way to kill off my own creatures for such infinity combos as Cathodion / order of whiteclay. It doesn't make sense for a mono white deck to be using an ashnod's alter
It is hard to admit that this is the best enchantment in a deck. Allows you to survive when you should have been dead a few turns ago. More than one is redundant, and token's not necessary in a control deck.
