This card is lovely with Sun Titan. Two attacks gets you two triggers, allowing for much more liberal play with sacrifice effects - not that you'll need it for long, with the Titan being a 7/7, then an 8/8. Using him in Blue

also gives you access to Dauntless Escort and Qasali Pridemage, so there's plenty of fodder to be brought back, too!

I once won a commander game with this when one of my opponents swung with a ton of 3/3 wolves, I used angel's grace, tanked the damage, and next turn i dropped this and swung with Rafiq who was enchanted with rancor, spirit mantle, and topped off with a giant growth to kill two opponents and win the game. I cried one manly tear of pride.

This and Rafiq is all that is needed to make even a Glistener Elf or Blighted Agent lethal in one turn. Yikes.

Something people don't seem to be noticing: Exalted lasts until the end of the turn and triggers every time a creature attacks alone. If you trigger exalted on this then swing with the same creature in the second combat phase, it gets all of the exalted triggers on your board again, doubling the bonus on the second swing. The above scenario doesn't even need this, though.

God, I am an idiot!

I just realized that with this on the table, when it triggers you get a second combat phase,
and thus when your singular dude attacks all of the exalted triggers trigger a second time.

This card is now so much better in my eyes.

This card is insane!! Most people don't even realize how powerful this card really is. For example, just imagine this card and Rafiq of the Many in play. (Or should I say on the Battlefield? Bleh...) Rafiq swings as a 5/5 double striker due to his ability and exalted stacking. Which deals 10 damage. Now "Finest Hour" kicks in and untaps Rafiq. KEEP IN MIND, Rafiq is still a 5/5 until end of turn. Now he is allowed to swing again as a 7/7 double striker, dealing 14 damage. So in total, you can have Rafiq deal a WHOOPING 24 damage!
