Grows as quickly or quicker than Ajani's Pridemate, and without Soul's Attendant or Soul Warden. I doubt it will have much impact in standard, playing out better as a casual card.

I don't like this card at all.

First of all, I believe this card and Gideon's Lawkeeper should be both blue and I would rather swap the color with Wake Thrasher. This creature combos MUCH better with Sleep, Frost Breath, Frost Titan, Cryptic Command, Narcolepsy, Gigadrowse, Deluge, Flood or Siren's Call than with Gideon or Gideon's lawkeeper. And it feels even more strange that the Avenger gets stronger when an opponent taps a Bird of Paradise or a Ghost-Lit Redeemer.

This brings me to Gideon himself. His "all creatues must attack him" is a failed way to print a Veteran Bodyguard as a Planeswalker. FORCING an opponent to attack is strictly contrary to any white flavor concept. Therefore, I woul... (see all)

Seems like a fun card, but I think the artwork is hideous. It could have been so much more beautiful.

This card has the guts to stand toe to toe with Ajani's Pridemate. For one thing, it is a lot cheaper and quicker to grow, will cause some serious disorder with your opponents deck, assuming that they're not obsessed with vigilance, and comboes with a ridiculous amount of cards, white and blue. So, I definitely think this card is amazing, with the only disadvantage being the cost. Two would have been a more fair, at least to set store by its rival.

4.5/5
