With the Exalted mechanic returning in M13 this card just became useful. Chances are you will have an "army" of creatures with the mechanic that won't be tapping allowing them them to stay back for defense. You could leave them all as is or you can give them a little extra edge with this. Quite frankly they are already doing a lot of work w/ Exalted might as well give them a little extra mileage so that maybe while blocking your opponent can't whittle down your total bonus.
Also, in W/B Exalted, Ring of Thune provides Vigilance to whichever creatures its attached to, regardless of color. That means your single Exalted attacker can gain the +0/+2 bonus as well making them a little more sturdy (if that happens to be a Servant of Nefarox you could use it). If that happens to be an Aven Squire or a Knight of Glory they get additional +1/+1 counters each upkeep making them even more formidable.
Does this ... (see all)

Would be better if it were 2w and a colorless
Works well with vigilance builds. Lotta people are mixed on vigilance, but it's great to have a creature that can attack and block each turn, especially when it gets +0/2 just sitting there. Even better if they have first strike.

I didn't noticed this card. Actually, I think Castle has a much better flavour: if a creature is inside the castle (i.e.: untapped and ready to defend), it gets the bonus; if a creature is outside the castle (i.e.: is attacking therefore tapped), don't get the bonus. So simple, so intuitive...
I don't say that this card hasn't flavour, only that its idea is much more convoluted than Castle's one...
3/5

Castle easily wins for having Shakesper flavor text, no contest.

Castle was a sweet card. This card... is the same card, but doesn't have the same imagery.
Putting your creatures in a castle is the best thing ever. "blessing your walls" doesn't quite have the same flavor.

This set has enough white creatures with Vigilance (not to mention Bruna), that this card becomes a permanent bonus if you manage to draft enough of those. Not game-breaking, but can provide a nice addition for your attack force.

It's nice to see that they made a functional reprint of, and shout-out to Castle with a more fixed flavor.
But since Castle had been there since Alpha and kept until 7th Edition, you can already assume that it wouldn't hurt to make this a strictly better card instead...

Combo with tokens and Intangible Virtue to deal with burn.
