This card is great in token decks with Ant Queen, Bestial Menace, Howl of the Night Pack, etc. It is better late game with an Overrun.

Wow, thats pretty awesome.. I mean.. tokens.. + this card.. = 6/6 tokens. What more do you want?
@designer genes, exactly! lotus cobras and cobra trap ftw, and an army of 4 scute mobs in your deck, for 9/9 scute mobs when you have 5 lands. So many possibilities.
@true mumin, ummm you need to re-read the card, it doesn't say attacking for 7 turns, its whenever a creature I have attacks, thats per creature. If you play it on turn 3, you probably have already have a few creatures to attack with, and get an immediate 2 right there. You don't even have to deal damage, you only need to attack with them. You can be throwing your creatures at fog banks and you still recieve a bonus. Thats by far one of the easiest, if not the easiest, of all the ascensions to activate. Can also pop a gilder bairn in there for added ascension madness if you want to speed things up.

Romance of the card VS Reality of the card
Romance -- Your aggressive creature deck easily handles the beastmaster quest criteria attaining ascension status and then decimate's your opponent with overwhelming forces. Game over!
Reality -- An Aggro deck that is running on all cylinders will probally kill your opponent before the quest is completed.
Reality -- Attacking into a hostile enviroment may create too much of an attrition rate on your creatures (or the retaliation by your opponent too much drain on your life) and you must stall your attacks, thereby stalling the quest.
Reality -- Your opponent will gladly Naturalize or Boomerang this enchantment, especially just before the quest is completed.
Balance of the card -- While completing the quest, this card is useless, after that it is dominate. And I do mean DOMINATE! Your opponent's main deck will struggle to deal w... (see all)

lol, I'm trying to figure out why no one has mentioned Doubling Season with this card.... you could satisfy the quest in 1 or two turns with that thing out...
In a red/green deck, this card would be terrifying. Red/black would be amazing as well, send in something that regenerates like a Drudge Skeletons and watch it get hacked to pieces... counter!
Obviously a bit of a pipe dream card, but holy smokes, when it goes off life is pretty awesome :D
4/5

I like to interpret this as each creature getting a five tiger squad.
Also yes, it does stack with other proc'd ones (+10/+10, +15/+15, etc).

OMG I only just discovered this card, and nearly wet my pants. Are you kidding me? So many decks this fits into Eldrazi, elf, token, living lands....etc. What a bomb, potential turn 3 or 4 win?

@Gomorrah: Small question, which occurs first once you attack with 7 creatures, the +5/+5 or the damage?
I have the same question, but i guess that if you attack with 7 creatures at the same time, the 7 creatures gonna recieve the +5/+5 bonus first, since Beastmaster Ascension ability triggers when you declare the attacking creatures, so before your opponent declare the defending creatures, all your creatures will have the +5/+5 bonus.
