The -3 has an annoying duplication / antisynergy with the first ability (giving first strike to things with first strike). It also seems a bit much to take out the whole 'walker for that effect (-3 on a 3-loyalty walker); maybe either make it grant double strike or take the cost down to -2 or -1?
I love the ultimate though; pleasingly snowbally :)
You're right, -1 is probably enough (giving everyone Vigilance is, it turns out, a surprisingly cheap effect), especially if I decide to make the tokens hasty (rather than striky) and self-exiling as I originally intended.
