They should have made this a 2cc creature just like Runed Servitor. Or maybe put a little +1/+0 until end of turn trigger for itself.

can be interesting in sealed/draft deck to activate your other allies, but in a standard deck this is the worse ally IMO since he doesn't have a abilities. In a standard deck, you have a limited number of card slot in your deck, so better use those slot with allies that actually bring an abilities of there own to your team in addition to activate and strengthen the abilities of the others. Yeah with the minotaur he will grow in power, with highlander he will get first strike, but instead of him, if you had let's say Kazandu blademaster, he would grow even faster since for each ally Kazandu would receive 2 counter on him (one from his own abilities and one from the minotaur ability)

Considering Scars, I wouldn't trust a machine more than a man. Darth Vader.

The only thing I can think of this being useful in is a 5 color ally deck. But seriously, Kabira Evangel, Makindi Shieldmate, or Umara Raptor is better. They even cost the same cmc.

Its primary use is of course evading color problems, but since there are four other three-drops available,
I would have strictly prefered this as one-drop similar to Metallic Sliver nonetheless.
Ally tribal decks don't have a single creature for the first turn yet...

Cloudburst. Nephalia Smuggler. Whichever your preferred flicker effect, Puma here is the preferred Ally to flicker.

Y ou mean... they made a card that's strictly worse than Onulet? All the way as recently as Zendikar?
(I've always liked the Onulet, but wish it costed 2 instead of 3 mana...)
