Well... I doubt he will be played outside limited (except in some casual decks). In limited it obviously depends on how much stuff you have to target him with. If you can't target him at least once, he is obviously horrible. If you target him once he is meh. If you target him twice or more he becomes good.

Very dangerous if left alone. During pre-release he was a star and a target.

Can red tokens be a thing? I really want them to be a thing.

The tokens that this guy produces look absolutely sick! I seriously think of the spartans from 300 when you play this guy.

I slung together a kind of "Rakdos Token" deck I guess you could call it with these guys, Pyros & Xathrid Necros. Was better than I expected to be honest, even with Dragon Mantle and other cheap as chips Heroic triggers thrown in, this fellow always got me off to a good start.

What about a turn two combo that swings for massive damage? For example, turn one Akroan Crusader, turn two use Titans Strength to boost his attack and get a token, then use Coordinated Assault to get another token, and swing for 8.

Heh, our phalanxs and hoplites are mostly loners, and we have a crusader who fights shield to shield. I enjoy the Akroan flavor of having all those soldiers out there though.

I've been playing with a rubblebelt raiders + this guy deck. Bloodrush, sadly wastes the haste on the tokens, but it does make for a a lot of convenient targeting. And then you get those beautiful moments when Rubblebelt is attacking with six or seven soldiers behind. We needed more mono red soldiers.
