Looks like it could be legit, fits what we saw of the card behind Glissa. It seems like it could be efficient enough to see play - it swings for at least seven damage, and if you have a few dudes on the field it's closer to 10. And that's the first swing, it can gain more damage each turn as it swings. And 4 toughness is a a pretty good number, allowing it to dodge Bolt.

would you resolve those abilities in order? Or could you put both on the stack in order to resolve them? I would assume so, otherwise it's lacking a lot of synergy with itself...
Either way that's one more strong Soldier for the list.

Alright I am assuming this guy was made for the Knights vs Dragons deck to be its mythic, so yeah, calling it now. He is a fun card and pretty fair casting cost and with a few more cards supporting it, then it could see play in some Elspeth2.0 tokens deck.

I'm loving this card. I really hope red and white get alot of battle cry, you'll see boros benifiting. Also I seemore reasons for this to see play then glissa (whos only home I could see is elves, but they would need to strain the mana a bit and the only artifact right now helping them is eldrazi monument)
"Battle Cry"... what an uninspiring keyword, and boring...
Shame, I was waiting for stronger version of "Rampage", "Flanking" or something interesting. The critter itself is very good. Do we want even more power with less mana? I surely don't but lets go with the flow.
"Battle Cry", sheesh! It doesn't even affect to the creature itself. When I imagine Conan, the Barbarian attacking with a huge battle cry I surely think that it gives HIM more power, not to the others.
Shame on you Wizards!
Battle Cry should be with berserk effect.
If there are a significant number of cards with battle cry, then I might draft Mirrans. Battle cry gets out of hand quick.
@kidlantern: Don't you think Glissa could introduce some synergy with Ezuri and his Brigade? GB Metalcraft elves anyone? or drop the elves and you could do GB Infect using her to bring back all your artifact infectors.

I don't think the knight deck is the way to go unless they print more solid early drop knights. Crusader and Hero are really great cards, but as far as knights go, they have 1 solid one drop in Student of Warfare, and 1 solid 2 drop in White Knight, and that's it. The rest are over-costed and fight for those same slots through their leveling. Here's to hoping knights get some early drop love or soldiers get the lord they've been needing.

I'm saying no, and my reasoning is Elves is doing fine right now. so far brigade is the only solid elf with metalcraft Id think, and right now (from what I see) it takes away from the elves game plan. elves have always been about getting crazy numbers, and metal might slow that down. anyways, Id need to see more being spoiled but what I see this this card has applications in a knight deck, in a white weenie, in a boros, and in a midrange white. with glissa I see elves, which doesnt need it right now, and a non existing B/G metal deck, and is very iffy with infect since its a blocker at best.
It's an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4. Wtf do you people want seriously? It has applications in populate/ above the curve beats decks, or in Bant control/ flash. I seriously think anyone mad at this card for any reason other than losing an attacker to instant speed wurm, should go home and make their own awesome card game and leave the rest of us alone.
I like it overall. I think people hoped for more from Battle Cry, but I am perfectly fine with low key abilities such as this. That being said, I love them printing knights that generate tokens, throwback to Knight Captain of Eos
I like this card a lot and think it may get more Standard play then what some people think. Did I read correctly from the TCG player forum guy that this is an (the last) MPR promo too?

Creature- Human Knight (M)
Battle Cry (Whenever this creature attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until the end of turn.)
Whenever Hero of Bladehold attacks, put two 1/1 white soldier tokens onto the battlefield tapped and attacking.

No being bolt proof is worth its weight in gold.

Also, I understand that Knights vs Dragons needed a Mythic, but still... this guy is a rare, why make it something it's not?

All we need now is a way to give it haste....
Solid card.

no it isn't rare this is the mirrin pre-release promo while glissa is the Phyrexian pre-release PROMO

yay, a Knight! Thought the tcg spoiler was right about it not being a Knight :-/.
Definitely going for that pre-release promo art. Much better.

I could see this maybe being a bomb in limited, but it'll never see constructed play.
