I guess he's Francis' ancestor.

I recently took him out of my standard Boros rush because he was too slow. When you're swinging with a Fabled Hero for 22 flying on turn 4, or even turn 5, he's just not worth it. In limited, he's amazing, in constructed, I can see him being played, but overall the archetype battalion encourages is faster than him.

As much as I love this guy I feel like his ability runs headlong against his flavor text. Look at it this way:
1) He says in his flavor that he goes on alone, but with the full might of the Legion.
2) If he does so 'actually' alone (or with one other) then that makes his ability not trigger and he is a wondrous 2/2 entering combat.
So, I suppose by 'alone' he means something other than most people do.
Also, after having seen nearly his entire Standard career, I think it is definitely safe to say that he could have been a 3/3 that got a smaller pump and still probably would only be fringe playable. Such a pity.

As a commander, he doesn't do too much on his own, but he works with so many strategies.
Because of how battalion works and because it doesn't scale with more creatures, I think the ideal way to play him is to attack with him and 2 other creatures and that's it. You don't need more because it won't really add that much.
Since he is indestructible, voltron and board wipes are very valuable. It's a little harder to get rid of him, so he loves equipment. board wipes basically become plague wind for much less mana, which is insane - and then you get to attack into empty boards (killing planeswalkers or getting a bunch of stuff off of swords when you hit a player).
Another important factor about how battalion works with him is that the quality of creatures he attacks with doesn't matter. You can have ETB dudes that are no longer useful, tokens, manlands, whatever you happen to have lying around. It could even be some powerful, aggressive creatures like brim... (see all)
