Hey, it's Captain of the Watch's signature spell. There are better spells you can play, though.

Timely Reinforcements was basically better but it always felt like a badly designed card to me. You're 1 creature down from them but you're running G stompy with some W support... and you are at 5 to their 7 or so? Timely Reinforcements just breaks the whole match right there. This is more balanced but, in Standard, it's still bad due to Lingering Souls... so I'm not sure what to think here.

Granted, it's not the best card out there. And perhaps it would have been fine costing one mana less. I don't know. However, I do look forward to failing miserably at making some sort of Pauper token deck using this card with Gather the Townsfolk, and Raise the Alarm.

Tons of cards in standard give us 2 1/1 for 2 mana. That fact only makes this card look even worse. Still, decent limited card I guess.

Timely reinforcements puts cards like this to shame, even if you play it to create tokens for exalted, mega over-extension.

Every other spell that gives you 1/1s has either been a 2cmc sorcery or a 3cmc instant (except Lingering Souls, which is a sorcery), and both Lingering Souls and Midnight Haunting give you FLYING 1/1s.

Why does adding a single 1/1 dude to a sorcery merit doubling its cost? Is it because Captain of the Watch got reprinted and they're afraid of your Soldier tokens getting... a Soldier-only Intangible Virtue?

Yes there are better cards! But one honor of the pure makes this thing a serious threat! Stop being spoiled and have fun again!

Too expensive. I'd rather keep Gather the Townsfolk.
