This is a great option for "Parfait" mono-white decks in Legacy, which otherwise lack flying critters. It's basically a card advantage generator, in a subtle way, since it puts three bodies in the air for one card. That's huge in Parfait, which only has Scrying Sheets + Snow-Covered Plains for mild card advantage (and some people don't even bother with that since it's so hit-or-miss). Procession pairs well with Island Sanctuary, Moat, and Luminarch Ascension (you can stave off attacks with the tokens until your Angel generator comes online). Those enchantments are pretty standard Parfait defense. I usually hold off with Procession until after I board-sweep with Wrath of God -- it's nice to be able to hold back only one card in my hand, knowing that will generate three post-sweep creatures for me.
I switched over to a W/B build for Bitterblossom/autoc... (see all)

Donovan, it good because if you use Teysa, Orzhov Scion in your deck it can provide chump blockers and it can also provide spot removal also unlike the other cards you named it doesn't a) make you bleed life each turn or b) cost 3 different colors and it can be played early so early game its a very good card but late game it's most likely going to be less useful then the other cards you named

Turn 1) Plains. Steppe Lynx
Turn 2) Plains. Honor of the Pure. Swing with a 3/4 cat.
Turn 3) Plains. Spectral Procession. That's three 2/2 fliers and a 3/4 cat on turn 3.
Follow that up with another Honor of the Pure, or a Glorious Anthem and you're set for the game. They'll have to actually use removal on your tokens, which nobody likes to do.
Since it's not an amazing card on it's own, I give it a 4/5.
Three 1/1 fliers is nice, but not amazing. It'll get by with a little help from its friends though. ;)

Ugh I love this card! Everyone loves Dragons Fodder. But this is only a 4.2/5???? 3 mana for 3 1/1's with flying??? Sick.

I don't understand the interest in this card, even at 3 mana per 3 white tokens, there are several cards that do almost if not exactly the same thing and do it better. Bitterblossom, supply and demand, sprouting thrinax. If you want something that costs a little more, but has a better effect you also have captain of the watch, mycoloth, dragon broodmother, and etc. It's never bad to add 3 chump blockers to your side of the field when you need them, but at the same time I think this card is over rated.
