I support IshubarashI for rating it low for judging it overpowered- I've always rated cards according to how balancing and fun the card is- I would rate things like Baneslayer low because it's just obscene.
but do I think it's overpowered? Not really. Every color except for green has an answer that isn't far out there and can be used for other things easily. Green just has to rely on out damaging his opponent- which isn't that far out there either.

@
this is just the incarnations of White's philosophy in lord form: Protect your dudes. Just like the Archdruid and Chieftain are the incarnations of their colors.
No. White accepts that life ends, but heaven awaits you. Green feels that life is a cycle and you will be born again. Black mages don't care about afterlife and would rather live forever. Blue mages would like to live as long as possible but won't do everything to achieve this. Who wants to stay alive, if you can't see the daylight and you look & smell like rotten flesh and everyone would stay away. Red mages prefer to die but be unforgrtable. Therefore, the indestructible ability is mainly artificial, black and blue... but not white.
I don't like the card. I would have longed for it as the ultimate ability for slivers... with the flavortext:
"Now, even an apocalypse won't safe us."
Much better than the stupid Sliver Legion.
For Knights, I would have enjoyed a Concerted Effo... (see all)

Arrogant bloodlord + kabira vindicator + nomads assembly + tons of revival = relentless black/white assault requiring no more than 50% of your nonlands. Add black/white removal and you get an even scarier killing machine that not even progenitus or emrakul will easily survive
also if you combo this with day of judgement paying 7 for an emergency, shes the only thing you lose in a knight deck. That could be game over if you control a potential of at least 10 attack points by turn 7 while running white creatures.

Because Knight of the Reliquary just needed a buff.

I really like it, I just hope to see in the future some Soldier and Knight Lord combined to make an army-themed white weenie deck (for fun and flavor purposes).
P.S: (Is there some lord like that that I have missed??)

I really like this card both for giving love to a seldom used tribe and for the beautiful art.
I do think however that making knights tribal might be dangerous.
Knight creatures have typically been quite strong and were balanced by not having any tribal backing. this might put that knight deck over the edge. Just recently we have student of warfare, and we still have white knight, and in extended we have all the knights from timeshifted and kinsbaile cavalier.
however that is normal, tribal decks ten to be quite powerful, the thing I think that pushes her over the edge is the synergy between the indestructibility and another of whites go-to spells, day of judgment.
the day becomes one sided and you will most often be able to swing ftw with a board full of double striking knights right after.

I WANT THIS.
This with Black Knight make a great combo. Shuts down white exile effects pretty well, even if it is a little mana specific.
Could be run with blue for a lot of white blue protection, though, (as well as venerated for any leveling knights you have) And Sejiri Steppe and Emerge Unscathed could help her out quite a bit.
EDIT: Seth, that isn't that easy to make. Student of Warfare, Celestial Colonnade, and Glacial Fortress are NOT EASY to get a hold of. The rest, yeah, probably. That depends on how much demand there is for this card (probably not much.)
EDIT: Ishubarashl, if she were legendary, that would make her downright AWFUL. She's excellent if there are two of her, because then they protect each other, and you wouldn't be able to have two of her if she were legendary.

I tend to prefer Soldiers over Knights as a tribe, but that's only because there are far more Soldiers to play with. I think this is cool, I hope they're foreshadowing SoM Knights the way Vampire Nocturnus foreshadowed the Zendikar Vampires.
