[M10] Honor of the Pure and the best 3/3 for 3 ever

***urzassedatives*** · 06-26-2009, 10:00 AM

This card is going to be a promo giveaway for people who buy boxes, IIRC. It is exactly as speculated. Huzzah for figuring it out. Seems really good to me.

Quote:

Honor of the Pure

Enchantment (R)
White creatures you control get +1/+1.
Together the soldiers were like a golden blade, cutting down their enemies and scarring the darkness.
Illus. Greg Staples

Yes, it seems like green hasn't gotten anything jaw-dropping yet. (Behemoth is nice, but just a big dummy)
Lets change that?
Ever since Trained Armadon people have enjoyed the 3/3 for 3 (usually at

)
Here is green hating out its enemies, creating an amazing beater that makes Faeries players scoop it up entirely.

Quote:

Great Sable Stag

Creature - Elk (R)
Great Sable Stag can’t be countered.
Protection from blue and from black (This creature can’t be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by anything blue or black.)
Ineffable and incorruptible.
3/3
Illus. Matt Cavotta

Also, it seems that there is tribal stuff scattered across rarities. Lets take Veteran Armorer and make him a little more interesting!

Quote:

Veteran Armorsmith

Creature - Human Soldier (C)
Other Soldier creatures you control get +0/+1.
“Courage is a proud and gleaming shield. It does not bend or hide from sight. To fight with courage, we must forge in steel.”
2/3
Illus. Michael Komarck

Why not give it a mirror too?

Quote:

Veteran Swordsmith

Creature - Human Soldier (C)
Other Soldier creatures you control get +1/+0.
“Truth is a straight, keen edge. There are no soft angles or rounded edges. To fight for truth, we must forge in steel.”
3/2
Illus. Michael Komarck

Wow, an Armodon after my heart. And more Soldier tribal, that is coming together nicely.

Sneasel007 · 06-26-2009, 10:02 AM

I really want that green creature. I also want to make a soldier deck now.

There There · 06-26-2009, 10:02 AM

White is gonna be pretty good I'm thinking

flappy · 06-26-2009, 10:02 AM

I hereby dub those soldiers as Plated Soldier and Blade Soldier.

That green 3/3 is pretty awesome!

I like it. Crusade, but easier to cast? Wow.

A 3/3 for 3 that only worries about Red and sweepers.

a 2/3 for 2 that buffs and a 3/2 for 3 that buffs as well.

So, very sweet. Way good!

I guess that's a pretty cool Anthem replacement. I like the Stag, but he can still die to a Bolt, Path, or O-Ring. Solid enough in limited, more of a sideboard card than anything. I like the Smiths. Seems like Wizards is really pushing this tribal thing.

Desertwalk · 06-26-2009, 10:04 AM

They have printed so many control hosers and so many unplayable control cards in the set that it's almost stupid.

Huaojozu · 06-26-2009, 10:04 AM

Still no good blue stuff? Im growing impatient.

Im a bit confused about the tribe thing though. Are Soldiers the white poster-tribe or Angels? Zombies or Demons for Black? Or does every color has the Fat tribe and the Weenie tribe?

2maxwell · 06-26-2009, 10:04 AM

All the cards seem powerful, flavorful, and fun. Definitely a nice bunch.

ThunderEarthFire · 06-26-2009, 10:05 AM

Wow soldiers are finally getting the attention they deserve, to bad ballyrock banneret is leaving standard soon ...

...sorry

And this is the end of Faeries.

Crusade back is good (Glorious Anthem without the Bitterblossom problems).

The Veteran guys are meh, could see some play though.

Hunter · 06-26-2009, 10:06 AM

The stag is # 186 by my reckening, is that correct?

ElricJC · 06-26-2009, 10:06 AM

Oh my god, white is getting some hard-core lovin. Our guesses on HotP were spot on it seems, that is just really strong. Add on the two cheap soldier critters, and I think Soldier WW could be a genuine playable deck now, when combined with HotP and the new Captain as a top of the curve creature, or maybe the new Angel. That is straight-up crazy.

And just when my black decks were starting to look viable, at least for the next couple of months we will have both Chameleon Colossus and this new Stag in the format. Damn, that's harsh. Luckily, I also love green, so that's great for me

, and I can see a RG Beats deck with this, Spellbreaker Behemoth, and some top-shelf fat for some uncounterable fun. Man, so nasty, I love them all, even though I don't really play white anymore. However, I have a friend who will just crap himself over those white cards.
