Bad in slower formats (like EDH/Commander) but good in faster ones (standard/limited).

The Lifegain implications with this card are enormous. This in a mono-white deck with Soul Warden, Wall of Reverence, Armored Ascension, and whatever other cool tricks you want to toss in. This card is solid.

Not quite. If you equip him with Warmonger's Chariot, the fact that the Captain gives him vigilance is quite useful.

love love love. just bought a foil playset because he's so worth it, even though i only use two. (two perimeter captains, two wall of omens, and gideon to protect jace = too mean to play casaully).

A descent card, works good with guardians of akrasa, after u have them both on the field then equip guardians of akrasa with shield of the righteous which will boost his toughness from 4 to 6 and he gains a useful ability when thats all done just keep blocking with him and perimeter captains ability will give u alot of needed life (u can never have too much life)

I love this card. A wall AND a soldier out of Bolt range. Great for stalling, okay for lifegain. He is a staple in any of my mono White decks.

Useful for staving off early attackers... combos well with other cards:
4 Perimeter Captain
4 Wall of Omens
2 Gideon Jura
4 Smite
4 Sunblast Angel

Your goblin guides sure look silly now, don't they?
This card seems like such a sleeper hit against decks like boros, vamps and RDW, Especially RDW. Essentially neutralizing their first three turns or so is absolutely crucial in getting to turn four to day and then laying on the wurmcoil action. Generally an overlooked SB card, I think.
