Hada Freeblade is better in just about every situation.

I think it's generally more useful to get a 2/1 for 1 mana like white already has. I can't see the extra defense being that big of a deal. You don't typically expect a 1 CC creature to be a massive blocker anyway. Go with Savannah Lions or the other one white has.

As much as I like this guy, he's not all that great. A 1/2 for W is ok, but usually a white player can find better creatures. I like the art and the spirit of the card, but for playability white creatures are just so much better than this.

One advantage this has over Elite Vanguard, he can swing freely verse Llanowar Elves. Or he can thin a Dragon Fodder when your on defense. When combined with +1/+1, he can swing freely verse Grizzly Bears, or stop one from attacking.

In a budget soldier deck, I wouldn't mind running x4, only if I was packing 8 or more "Lord" type creatures. Norwood Ranger is better for elf decks.

Interesting. You don't see elves. In white often. Extra point of toughness is rather meh though.

Interesting to see that even in the old days there were OK vanilla creatures. Completely outclassed by Azuri's Archers
