Only 2.8/5? Seems odd. This IMO is a solid limited 1-drop and even comes with a boost for other creatures plus a nice Heroic enabler. Is it Soldier of the Pantheon? Far from it. But its still a usable card.

I guess Mr. Deschamps liked LoZ: A Link Between Worlds.

Definitely solid. Not amazing, but I definitely have a place for him outside limited.

3.8? What more do people want out of a 1-drop common? This guy is relevant and above the curve starting on turn 1, and stays relevant into the midgame. See also: doomed traveler.

Definitely makes me want to go white for BNG limited.

This seems like a really awesome scene. However, he's coming out of a vase, and is only 6 inches tall.

A very solid one-drop in the right deck. Lots of synergy with some other white cards at present.
As a 1/2 for 1, he's a decent common, but also being an enchantment, and having a bestow ability is huge.Eidolon of Countless Battles and Ethereal Armor both trigger off this guy. Also, while he works as a turn one drop, he also works mid-game as a heroic enabler.

5/5 with the right deck, one of the best commons in the set.

I love this guy. One of my favorite enchantment creatures and great for any enchantment focused deck. He's just a 1/2 for 1 but the low bestow cost means it's always easy to play him when and where you need him.

This card was a beast in pre-release If there is one card I wanted to have in my first turn in my blue-white control deck it was this bad boy. Also having it later didn't bother because of his enchantment ability.

A great follow-up after 2 cmc heroic cards. Some examples are : Vanguard of Brimaz, Akroan Skyguard or Phalanx Leader
