Moonveil Dragon's comment didn't go over so well, let me try again! x)
"we've got a long way to go..."
drum roll please!
Let's get down to business! To defeat the Setessans!
Did they give us centaurs?
When we asked for Akroans!
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Mr. we'll
make an Akroan
out of you!
BE AKROAN
We must be swift as a coursing river
BE AKROAN
With all the force of a great typhoon
BE AKROAN
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Hoo-ah!

The art really hacks me off. The very word hoplite comes from the Greek word hoplon which means shield. The hoplites in than picture look retarded. The card it's self is pretty decent though, but ill have to make an altered art version or i wont play it.

At worst, 1 2/2 on the attack and he synergizes perfectly with the Boros Battalion before him. 3.2/5.

Seems fine in limited, and in other formats. Not sure what it can do in Standard. Maybe in a deck with lots of removal and small creatures? *shrugs*

This I like, a cheap 2/1 with a neat effect
4/5

This is, when attacking, strictly better than a RW 2/2 with Battalion: +2/+0. Compare Boros Elite.

should work well with haste creatures from return to ravnica block. build up a little then swing with a couple haste guys and this man. boros too good even in other planes.

This is such a good Boros card. Example:
T1 legion loyalist
T2 this
T3 skyknight legionnaire
You'll have a 1/1 first stiker, a 4/2 first strike and trample, and a flying 2/2 with first strike and trample. On your third turn. Its also really fun with older stuff like hero of bladehold and battle cry.

Our dear friends from Boros have been moonlighting in Theros...
This will potentially do very well in a Soldier-Token deck with Archetype of Aggression and Archetype or Courage but will work as well if not better in a battalion with Odric, Master Tactician.
It's cheap, simple, straightforward, and has a solid effect
So... All hail the legion than chaps?
