You could instead write "Each other creature that is a Human or Knight gets +1/+1." I don't see how this set wants anything else.

Once again a singole creature that is a size of class 6/6 is the exception rather than the rule in white and a simple Human Knight tribal card doesn't justify those stats thematically.

Mechanically a Glorious Anthem effect is also better on a cheaper smaller cost.

I'd scale this down.

I want it only to affect your creatures, and yes I will downscale this.

made it different tell me if its good

I think it's good. Upgraded over Chieftain en-Dal. Could be an uncommon since it is tribal and rather fragile.

I personally would increase the p/t a little (even Rhox Pikemaster is an uncommon, though in this set a 3/3 with first strike and tribal upside might already qualify as rare).

I will make a 2/3, and make uncommon

Pretty damn solid "Build around me" uncommon. This just screams "Pick me, then draft every soldier you see"

Yup. Limited bomb. I think might need to be rare at that case... Maybe I will remove the additional counter and put this guy's power up 1.

the counter is definitely asking for this to be rare

EDIT: your word choice makes me think you do see this as fine at uncommon? Powerful but not broken.?

Absolutely- this is a fine example of a class of uncommon cards - the "build around". Cards that influence how you build a deck in draft, pulling you towards one of the sets themes (in this case, soldiers).

Such cards need to be uncommon; so that they show up; and need to have lord-like effects, so as to encourage getting whatever they go well with.

Hopefully your other soldiers also synergise into a nice theme of some kind. If your set were to give white a combat mechanic; it should probbaly grant that instead of first strike; but first strike is fine.

This is potent, no doubting that. But not overly so.

awesome! I now plan on making more of those type of cards in my sets. Good to know what to repeat

It's also nice that this grants first strike upon attacking since first strike is an ability that can be problematic on the defensive.

It's far more efficient when you can choose how combat pairs are assigned - which is what the defending player does when declaring blockers.

It's a little like deathtouch in this way except with a built-in promise to survive combat if the opponent is taken out. This at times disincentivises attacking and leads to board stalls.

Just flat-out making any trade one-sided tturns out to be strong.

Rsstricting it to attacking creatures conversely is better at breaking board stalls, hence Jousting Lance.

Ah yes, that makes sense. Always wanna know what players wanna do. Ty
