If I get one out. so now he's 2/2. and I get another out while he's still on field.
will the first get an additional +1/+1, i.e: A +1/+1 for a copy of himself entering, then another for the ally thing?
so will the first be now a 4/4?

I just can't get rid of this guy in my soldier deck. Elite Inquisitor is good against most standard decks, but I don't play standard. I did SB the Elites, but for now, the blademaster is still king of the ring in my deck. 
First strike, Vigilance, and gets bigger from his brothers. Even taking the Freeblades out to make room for other cards, the Blademaster still shines.

Without other allies, just run Elite Inquisitor. With them of course...

Probably the most aggressive of Zendikar allies.
More than this, it is a great defender too!

I'd still take this over Elite Inquisitor because Inquisitor's protections typically won't be relevant, unless you're playing Innistrad block. Blademasters pump each other, and the use of +1/+1 counters enables various tricks.

I think that this guy is the best 2CMC creature for white. Even outside the ally synergy, he is essentially a 2/2 with first strike and vigilance. A great base to enchant/equip. Slap on a Bonesplitter (or a Trusty Machete) and you've got a 4/2 (or 4/3) first-striker who can attack and block every turn, possibly even as early as turn 3!. Then, if you draw two of them, the first one gets +1/+1! *AND* hes a soldier, hail for soldier decks!
I think that vigilance is the most powerful combat ability, being able to attack and then block the next turn. The first strike just makes it worse, since your opponent usually won't want to block unless he can kill your blademaster. Most creatures with vigilance have low power, but not him! Likewise, most creatures with first strike have high power but low toughness, again, not him! He is powerful AND tough! A nasty combination since blockers will need to survive the first strike and deal enough damage to kill... (see all)

I love this. I don't even have it yet and I love it. :)
I'm finishing a white/green ally deck, which all my friends say will suck, especially graypelt hunter, but I've killed them with just three of those and four hada freeblades....lol

My favourite card of all time. The art, the flavour, the power, the scaling. Okay, it's over the curve even in a non-tribal deck, but there's far more OP out there. I love it like my first child.
