Gives Selesnya a token to Populate. Gives Simic a 3/3 cheap without using a card in hand for evolve triggers. Gives the Golgari a dead thing, or target for Scavenge. Gives Gruul an unassuming bloodrush target, as well as an instant 3/3 on the battlefield

This is actually fun in limited because this is an early way to get a decent creature token to populate. Otherwise the cheapest card I know that creates tokens is eyes in the sky (the guildmage doesnt count because you need 6 mana to make the token).

Usually heralds are reserved for something spectacular. Empyrial Archangel, Godsire, Prince of Thralls, Hellkite Overlord, Sphinx Sovereign, uncounterable creatures, war, victory, nature... not a 3/3 token with no abilities.

If it had cost 1G for the token then we might have something. As is, paying 2GG for a 3/3 just isn't going to cut it--even if it can be populated.

Pros like me know the value of this scout. You can block an attacker with it, then sac it and have a nasty centaur token ready to attack next turn. Being an elf is also a plus and tokens are more valuable these days then they used to be.

I don't really see the point of this. Sure, if you can keep reanimating this thing somehow, or need to trigger gravepact or whatever. Or block and sec it before damage is dealt. But still: a 0/1 dork on turn one that might be burninated before you have the mana to sac it? No thanks.

I thought this card would be decent, early defense, potentially a 3/3 later. After playing with it though... 1.5/5
