Just so people know, the term "strictly better" can only refer to cards that either have directly comparable text and different costs to the point where one is more optimal than the other, or where two cards have the exact same cost and one has text that makes it superior to the other, and it judges cards in a vacuum. The existence of Muraganda Pietroglyphs does not stop Ashcoat Bear from being strictly better than Grizzly Bears. If you need more examples of what the term means, look at this: http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Strictly_better
Crusade is strictly worse than Honor of the Pure. Get over it.

It's not quite as good as Honor of the Pure, but that's hardly its fault. 3.5/5

Many games I won with this. I used with Caribou Range and Kjeldoran Outpost in order to build an army to attack and defend. The only problem was if the opponent was using white. I think they should fix all these old cards to affect only your permanents. Great with Opalescence

Haha one time in a casual match my opponent went first. After I had dropped a land and some other thing, he played this. I just said "Thanks, Caleb." I was running Tempered Steel. 25 damage hit his way two turns later. In essence, strictly worse than Honor of the Pure.

Why is this card twice the price of Honor of the Pure, then?

Prefer Honor of the Pure just because it doesn't boost your opponent's cards too.

I don't know why everyone is comparing this to Honor of the Pure, this card was in the first set and Honor of the Pure is a remake of it, so of course it's better. You people are acting like this card just came out and and Honor of the Pure was the Original, I had this card in my White deck in 94' and I have one in my EDH deck now because I can only play one Honor of the Pure in my EDH deck.
