This card wins games.
Naturally, you shouldn't be playing it in any deck other than mono-white, but where you do play it, there are so many good options. My favorite is either Kazandu Blademaster or Knight of Meadowgrain.

No support from my side.
This has no white flavor. It supports a single powerful & dominating creature and is heavily focussed on lands and power. Could have been a Nightmare Embrace.

Comments on: 'Armored'
The highest rated card (at time of righting) containing armored in its name, and its easy to see why. Armored Ascension is one of the best white aura. Only the fragile nature of the aura alone is a detriment.
In mono-white, playing this almost always elicits a groan from the opponent if they can not solve the problem of such a large, evasive creature immediately. Even in dual color decks this aura is a threat.
In my time I've played this on such fun cards as Mistmeadow Skulk, and have seen people use it on Darksteel Myr to create a deadly, indestructible attacker and blocker. On vigilance cards you get both.
Its high ranking is justly deserved, and I its position as 'highest ranked Armored' card will be challeneged any time soon, barring new releases from upcoming sets.

You're a *** idiot. If you're not trolling then you're an incredible moron. That's like saying don't play anything at all that dies to Doom Blade unless you can prevent it. Ass

This thing is a game breaker if the opponent can't deal with it immediately.

Together with Honor of the Pure it's a mono-white favourite. Even in all white flying, because who cares about flying when you can get +1/+1 for EVERY PLAINS CARD YOU CONTROL.

In casual this is a game ender. I hate it. Cards like this are the reason 4-5 slots in my casual decks are enchantment removal

"An opponent may discard a removal spell. If they don't, you win the game."
Pretty much what it says. This card is amazingly powerful, but you're just making yourself vulnerable to card disadvantage. It's too easy to just kill your creature in response, especially when you have lots of opponents.

Play testing so far keeping 2 of these in my knight deck its a great finisher on an indestructible knight, and absolutely devastating on Mirran Crusader.
