Useful creature types. The expansion right after Judgment (this card's expansion) was Onslaught, a block that was all about creature types. Look at Aven Brigadier for example, not to mention the scores of Soldier and Bird tribal effects as well, like Seaside Haven, Catapult Master or Unified Strike. This card works well with all of them.

Even with the threshold ability active its only a 3/3 first strike flyer for four; not all that great but it has its uses.

A 3/3 first strike flyer is not bad. Evasion, and first strike makes things like Holy Strength just that much better.

Reasonably powerful in limited.

3/3 flying, first strike for 4 is a nice bargain, and the soldier creature type is pretty much as supported as it gets.

People got spoiled. 3/3 First Strike Flyer for a splashable soldier. 3.5 easy. 3/3 is easily worth {3} and {W} is easily worth Flying + ability (first strike.)

Soldier lords like Field Marshall and Captain of the Watch make this potentially quite potent. Soldiers don't typically fly, so this is a nice addition to a soldier deck in need of some firepower or air defense later in the game. This is not to be underestimated in Limited as well, where it is easily splashable and a solid pick for both defense and offense. All in all not a bad common.
