Dumb and ugly. Like all the other "leveling" creatures. Who approved this hideous cardframe design? It makes my eyes bleed. A really stupid and cliched idea overall. Magic is slowly morphing from CCG into RPG.

This is weird. Student of Warfare is much better than this, strictly. I don't understand Wizards' "the rarer the more powerful" mentality. It just favors people with more money (me). Rarity should give more possibilities, not more power.

I would have created at least this version:
level 0-1 = 1/1
level 2-4 = 3/3
level 5+ = 5/5 first strike

Way to go, WotC. This card is a great way to introduce the new mechanic, making players ABSOLUTELY HATE EVERY ASPECT OF LEVEL UP!!!!
If I see this card in anything but a Limited or casual setting, I'll probably have an aneurism from sheer stupidity.

I wish people would play less limited so they would be discouraged printing this garbage. They could have at least made it a vanilla 3/3 or a french vanilla 2/2.

Probably my least favorite levelers. It's a 3 mana 2/2 creature early on in the game. Bring out an Eldrazi rather than wasting time on building a 5/5 first strike creature after 5 turns and plenty of wasted mana.

It is a 1/1 for 1 with a bonus ability. You guys are off your rockers complaining about this card.

Random Card Comment
@ZEvilMustache or a lion/dragon/drake whatever. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that...
Caravan Escort has the misfortune of being a 1 cost W leveller in the same set as Student of Warfare. I don't play much limited, so like most people I tend to skim over this guy to get to the student.
It's somewhat sad that a fair amount of cards in each set do not see much play outside of limtied or draft because they are less efficient versions of more powerful cards, especially if those more powerful cards are readily availabe (such as in a deck).
He's one advantage over the student is, as has been pointed out, that his mana is colorless. But that's not often enough to lead to his inclusion because in a multi-color leveller deck there are better cards to include.
Incidentally, I resented the levellers for a long time because I sort of felt like they had replaced the Allies, a type I had been enjoying in the previous 2 expansions. Now I'v... (see all)
