@True_Mumin: Balance is a very broken white card. And blue is very powerful right now, it's the cornerstone of Faeries and Five Colour Control, and Cryptic Command is one of the best cards in standard. Oh, and in legacy and vintage, blue will forever be at least thrice as powerful as all other colours.
I don't think Honor of the Pure is overpowered, I really don't. I think it should have costed {W}{W} though.

Very good card. Yes the lack of WW cost does improve its versatility, but think about it. That just means it is easier to play in a multicolored deck, meaning less of your creatures will be white, meaning it has less effect. In truth, you won't be dropping this on turn two, I think a second creature is more important, especially in white weenie. In fact this is probably a turn 3-5 play, in addition to a creature or other spell. tapping out for a buff enchantment isn't the way to go. Oh, and the past tense of costs is cost, not costed. Just wanted to clear that up. "It costs 1W", "It should have cost WW".

Crusade is cooler. 4x Birds and you can run 4x of these in a green aggro deck, let's say. Easy to abuse for any other color, no flavour at all... I just don't like it.

Why does Crusade have a higher rating? If anything, this should be higher because of the difference in mana cost!

In my Kithkin deck, this card is absolutely brutal.

Just in case anybody doesn't know what the "power creep" is, take a look at this, and then Crusade. Many a card has fallen victim to the power creep.
Alas, this is a good card to have in a white weenie deck. It gives all those small soldiers and tokens a boost, especially +1 power for first strike. Not to mention multiple ones stack with each other so drawing more than one is not a bad thing. Its also cheap at only 2 CMC, making that 2/1 Elite Vanguard a formidable 3/2 on the second turn.
Don't forget that multicolored cards will get the bonus too, making a 4/4 Watchwolf or a 6/5 Woolly Thoctar.
4/5
