For Challenge # 075 based on Gerrard and part of the Weatherlight Planeswalker Project. Gerrard is tough to pin down. He's kind of all over the map on his cards, but none of his cards are very interesting. They're just a way to repackage old mechanics by slapping the name 'Gerrard' on them.

I knew, however, that I really wanted to see that [+1] on the card as an homage to Master of Arms. The -1 is inspired by Gerrard's Command and... um... Gerrard's Battle Cry? I know it isn't a direct translation, but it's supposed to be Gerrard shouting to ready the men. The ultimate is my attempt to take the most obvious Gerrard ability from Gerrard's Wisdom and Gerrard Capashen and give it relevance as an ultimate by turning into a pile of +1/+1 counters. I thought about gaining life with the counters, but the card is already a little messy, and that was one step too many.
