This card is strange to play with. Usually with an expensive mythic you want to protect it in various ways. With this one you just want to trade right after it hits the table so you can populate that token! Rootborn Defenses right after this one died and the Selesnya player will be in a good position (preferably when blitz just attacked with a Burning-Tree Emissary fueled start!
Even if you don't trade for the token early you have pretty much disabled counterspells, always nice.

I wish they paid more attention to balancing this particular mythic in an otherwise spectacular cycle. Legion's Initiative is a totally reasonable, cool Boros card about which I'm very happy, but so inferior it's upsetting. Instead of making a sweet, flavorful, build-around-me selesnya card they throw out something so generically over-powered that every single deck running its colors will auto include four (provided they can afford them)? What makes it especially egregious is how (appropriately) narrower the other guild mythics are (such as Council of the Absolute or Deadbridge Chant, both of which are totally playable, awesome cards in addition to the aforementioned Legion's Initiative).
What does this accomplish? I think the Selesnya mages got the shaft most of all, in that their new spicy "Selesnya mythic" isn't even designed for them to build around, but rather is just a stupidly strong card. The Boros card says "swing with dem Boros weenies!" the Golgari card says "use dat g... (see all)

Remember the old card game "War" that we all used to play as kids (you know, my king takes your nine, your jack takes my deuce, and so on)? Well, now Magic has become that game. A game with many variations and alternative win scenarios is now about your big, freaky, $30 per card creatures beating my deck that doesn't have those big, freaky, $30 per card creatures.
This card gets a 5 out of 5 simply because it is SO overpowered (for SO little mana) that it is silly. You thought Thragtusk was powerful? Get a load of this card! It's like a Thragtusk and a powerful enchantment all in one for only 2 CMC.
You get no instant-speed removal, no instant-speed counters, no instant-speed anything on your opponent's turn if they have this in play. If you do use instant speed removal on it during your opponent's turn, you will not recover because you will always be behind in development. In addition, your opponent with this on the field can still use inst... (see all)

Wizards needs to learn to print format-balancing cards at lower rarities, so that newer players at least have a chance of playing at tournaments

Voice of Resurgence is sweet! Standard for sure! Solid 2 converted mana cost drop with its 2/2 stats. The ability of course makes this card. All instants that your opponent wants to play during your turn, now they have to rethink that strategy. Restoration Angel, Snapcaster Mage, Sphinx's Revelation, and counter cards are all prime examples. Although, your opponent will most likely not play those cards unless they feel the need to do so. Plus its death still gives birth to something that has potential to be nice, so kill cards even have a little less impact. Awesome card! 4/5.

I never thought I'd see artwork reminiscent of Legends on a new card, much less a Mythic from Dragon's Maze...

Favorite card in the set. Two-drop that gives you a free Crusader of Odric token when it dies is pretty sweet. Also, dat art.
