I have two of these. Yeah, my friends hate me.

Comparing junkyo bell to this is like comparing your grandma to megan fox.
Cmon, name should be hint enough. One is sublime... The other, well, junk.
This card is too good. It is both extremely offensive and stalwartly defensive. You probably underestimate the power of letting all your creatures hang back except one. Best part, it has a strong impact as soon as it hits, so even if it dies on your opponents next, youve reaped a healthy benefit in two combats, before it ever even attacks. This is one of those cards that has to die, immediately, or you die. That is its power. Bask.
This card brings the scale up to 6, for all cards forever, that's how good it is. And even then, it's probably a 7.

Yes, it's a very strong card, worthy of its Mythic Rare status. Only problem I have with this card is that it gives "Double Exalted" to creatures that already have Exalted. And that is r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s. I know Wizards decided to do it so this card could be useful in decks where all (or most of the) creatures already have Exalted, but it feels like granting "Double Flying" to a crature and saying that it can't be blocked with creatures with "normal" flying...
At the very least, this could be a Legendary creature, no?

That's an excessive amount of power on a single card. Interesting idea, but absurdly poorly designed and a prime bit of evidence for WotC's abuse of the "Mythic" rarity.
Imagine if only that rarity hadn't been made.

Rite of Replication, Infinite Reflection, Cackling Counterpart, and Clone make your opponents situation easily go from bad to worse.
Guess I'm making a White/Blue exalted deck now.

I really, really don't get the "stop complaining, there's a way to beat it" comments. There's a way to beat EVERYTHING, it doesn't detract from the unbalanced cards. Imagine this in a token soldier deck with cards like Raise the Alarm, or spirits and humans. Anything really, that produces creatures really fast. It's insane. Giving all your creatures exalted should be an enchantment that costs 5-6 mana, not sitting on a creature that's already incredibly efficient for its cost.

Epic nonbo with battalion. I like the art and the idea of the effect, but it is undercosted. They could have at least made the creature less efficient (like a 2/3 flying for instance).
However, even with that said, the effect isn't even that powerful. Exalted is okay, but not amazing, and if you have enough creatures to make this truly threatening, then you are probably overextended and asking for a board wipe.
Then again, the turn you play it, you could just end up killing them with your storm crow from all that exalted damage.

I find it amusing how so many people here downplay the exalted ability because spot removal can shut it down. First of all, that assumes your opponent has spot removal in hand, with enough mana to play it, every single turn. It might happen once or even a couple of times, but removing one creature still leaves whatever other ones you've managed to get on the board, all of which are untapped, ready to block and help out with the exaltation next round. You might as well argue that all creatures suck because your opponent can play Fog. All it does is delay the pain.
Second, there are plenty of ways to counter spot removal. Counterspells, for instance. Or you could just throw down Mom and let her protect whichever creature is attacking this turn. Will it always work? Of course not. But that doesn't mean this card is any less awesome.
