Hmm. So it is castable with white mana, but it's an awful 1/1 for 4. Even just in a white-green deck it's an uninspiring 2/2 for 4 - playable in limited, just about (one Daru Cavalier was sometimes just about maindeckable). (Similar but even worse in a white-red or white-blue deck, where it's a 2/2 for , which is horrible.) You really need three colours to make this properly playable, which means you're asking for in a G/W/x deck.

Is that what you were going for? It seems a rather complicated way of making a not very good card that people will eventually conclude isn't worth putting in their limited decks.

If the base P/T was 1/1 rather than 0/0, that would be a lot more playable - comparable to Halberdier or Rhox Pikemaster. Though still pretty confusing.

@Alex The thing is that 4 CMC is about the going rate for a 3-power first striker at common or uncommon, so I costed it too conservatively.

Right, that seems somewhat better. So in monowhite it's a 2/2 first strike, like Ballynock Cohort etc. Playable.

In any two-colour white/? deck it's a 3/3 first strike for 3, which is very solid indeed. For ? = red/black/blue it costs , which is slightly tricky to drop on turn 3, but fine. For ? = green it's , very easy to cast, very solid.

And in a white-green-? deck, for , it's a stonking 4/4 first strike; better than Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers or Rhox War Monk, and often better than Woolly Thoctar... comparable to Anafenza, the Foremost.

This is now a jolly strong card. Which is fine. I wonder though if it should still be 4 mana rather than 3. Alternatively perhaps it could be base P/T 1/0: that would make for more fiddly gameplay calculations, but make it slightly easier to kill with burn/shrink/multiblocking.

You know, I like the 1/0 idea! The extra complication probably justify putting this at rare, too.

Seeing the card now, I love how it turned out. I'm impressed that you managed to find some semihybrid design space to explore.
