@GrimjawxRULES: You said it yourself, the tokens copy the ORIGINAL creature. When a creature has an ability that says it's name then you should read it as "This card". This card is a 3/3 creature that must be blocked by one creature if able and creates tokens of itself when it attacks. Temporary buffs like Giant Growth and abilities given to this creature do not change anything about this card and will not transfer over to the copies. The tokens will be 3/3 creatures that must be blocked by one creature if able ability and have the copy ability. (As for Spideredd quoting rule 706.4, that rule says that the Giant Growth is played on the creature doing the copying not the creature that is being copied, 706.2 is the rule that is in effect here.)

I really, really want to see this thing go up against a Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs for a hilarious fight, especially if you buff it so it's the equal of Kazuul rather than getting it's ass kicked.

It's very, very pricey to pull off, but I think Relentless Assault is the way forward with this card. Since all the tokens are copies of Nacatl War Pride, THEY get the same abilities, so if you attack twice in one turn....
Follow up with Phyrexian Altar for the tokens and Disintegrate for your opponent, just in case there's anything left of them after the attack. Beautiful.

Rather easy to get around his demise. Run with Darksteel Plate, Maze of Ith, Mystifying Maze, etc.

favorite card ever, it needs to be reprinted in zendikar, NEEDS TO BE
awesome combos possible, like mirrorweaving it into a deus of calamity yes my 7 nactals are now 6/6 tramplers, and unless your opponent can block multiple creatures like thoughtwelf trio, one will always hit
Edit: well WotC, you crushed my dreams, but you gave me some hope for world wake, reprint this in standard, and watch as it is hit with rites of replication, kicked, yes I have 6 of these swinging together, you have how many creatures, 3, oh good, I now have 24 of these guys, beastmaster assention loves this guy, as long as your opponent has 6 creatures, you just swung with 7, and they are now 8/8 enjoy the carnage
Edit: Edit: yeah, alara would have seen this, but that didnt mean that zendikar didnt have cat people. None appeared though. There is still eldrazi and whatever the block is after zen, so we may still see a nactal war-pride activate a beastmaster ascention

"If you put Whispersilk Cloak on this... X 3/3 unblockable tokens. Ouch. "
Scratch that, only the original gets the unblockable bonus.
Wait... if the tokens go away at the end of the turn, doesn't activating the Sundial make them disappear since you're making the turn end?

@endersblade: If you want to speed up that exponential event, any effect that grants an additional combat phase can do it in a single turn.

through a loophole, wouldn't this card make infinite clones because each clone is attacking with this ability?

@endersblade
I don't think that works because the tokens go away during the next end step. Even if you end your turn, your tokens will go away during your opponent's end step. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
