Time to dig up my old Icatian Phalanxes and Kjeldoran Phalanxes. Hell, lets add Conclave Phalanx to the deck, too.

Seriously, this card does work. If you have some pumps on hand like Ethereal Armor or Cooperative Assault then you've got quite the army about to be created.

I have heard so many issues regarding the Heroic mechanic using a single spell with multiple instances of the word target in it's effect, such as Martial Glory, that need to be cleared up.

The short definition of this is:
It doesn't matter how many instances of the word target are in the spells effect, the creature is still only being targeted by a SINGLE spell thus it will only be able to receive a single +1/+1 counter PER SPELL.

Here is the more in depth definition:
Heroic says "whenever you CAST A SPELL that Targets" (Insert creature), It does not say the whenever (Insert Creature) Becomes "Targeted".

This means cards such as Martial Glory will only ever trigger Heroic once, because Phalanx Leader is being targeted by/with the spell itself, and not how many times the word target is in a spells effect. So this means Phalanx Leader will only ever get a single +1/+1 counter no matter how many times ... (see all)

Something tells me heroic isn't as good as it looks, because if it is, this should NOT be printed at uncommon.

@Lord_of_Tresserhorn

That awkward moment when a Goblin starts out a little better at using a spear than your Phanlax Leader..

Flickering Ward. That is all.

I don't think anyone rating this below a 4 has played with/against it in limited yet, incredibly powerful.

Start with two of these guys on the battlefield. Target each of them with a Bioshift. Congratulations. A one-mana spell has given each of your creatures 2 additional +1/+1 counters.

Easily the best heroic card in white. Giving +1/+1 counters to an entire team is amazing. Definitely better than all the greedy ones who only want them for themselves. The WhiteWhite is rough for the kind of deck I'd like to build (Boros Beatdown), but this guy will play great with Precinct Captain and Heliod, God of the Sun in mono-white aggro.
