Well, there is one situation where this beats Honor of the Pure, and that'd be in twoheaded giant, if your other head is running white and neither of your opponents do

I agree, gongshowninja, the art is fantastic and the flavor text is really fitting.
And Crusade isn't a bad card either :)

The idea of even reprinting this card is for nostalgia's sake since a large majority of the cards in the Duel Decks (including Elspeth and Tezzeret themselves, now) are no longer standard or extended legal and this gives them an excuse to show off some of the older cards with updated artwork/text. Sure, Honor of the Pure is "better" because you won't be buffing up your opponents' creatures if they're playing white, but if that bothers you so much, use HotP instead and stop whining.

I liked the old art better, when you could see the burning smoke of recently sacked Constantinople.

I have never been able to build a Knight themed deck without needing to include this card. Much like I can't make Vampire Decks without Bad Moon. Damn flavor-addiction. I wish I knew how to quit you.

Flavor text gives me chills.

Pop a Jihad and an Honor of the Pure in your deck and you're golden.

It goes great with my Springjack Shepherd, but I would rather pay one more for Glorious Anthem so my opponents don't get any bonus.

My main reason for buying Duel Decks/Premium Decks/FtVs/Multiplayer sets is nostalgia cards like this one.

Gets a 5/5 from me based on the artwork and flavor text alone. The effect isn't too bad either.
