I find it interesting to compare this card to Thoughtcast. Obviously, there are too many variable there to make a proper comparison, but, when I squint, I see similar cards.
It is true that any deck that packs enough creatures should auto-play this. One casting cost cantrips happen, but they often come with a minor effect. Let's put it another way... if this card read:
Burning is Fundamental
R
Instant
Draw a card. Then, if you control seven lands, deal 4 damage to target creature or player.
Would you play that card? Because I would be all over that thing like a pig on truffles. It looks fair, because there's parity and all, but, really you don't have to work for it. If you don't have the land, you can just cycle it for a cost that you're bound to have within any three rounds. If you do have it, kaboom, pure card advantage. Five creatures is alot... but for some decks, it's standard procedure.
Casting cost aside, I don't really have a problem with the color. Others will. As far as I'm concerned, all colors should be allowed to draw cards as long as its tied to their mechanic. Drawing cards is fun, and the color pie is wrong for thinking otherwise.
I'm not sure. Green gets card drawing based on power, so it seems to make sense that white would get card drawing based on number of creatures. I agree it (or any card drawing) could be blue. I think it's a question of "should white weenie decks get super card drawing"? And I'm not sure, but they probably deserve it as much as blue weenie decks.
Does white get this kind of card draw based on creatures? Seems more green or, as you say, blue. So, ok, it's a conditional (on being a token deck) http://draw3cards.com/, with cycling. And only costs
. The condition is pretty easy to meet in a white soldier deck, so I'd say far too good.
Wow. That's very good. Much cheaper than Distant Melody, and although you only get half the effect, it's not tribally-restricted. The name is the only thing making it not a blue card.
That's an awesome combo. :) This is actually top-down design of a manablade from Agents of Artifice. Jace uses one against Tezzeret.
Is this a wishlist item for someone's Zo-Zu the Punisher deck?
If "Soulband Soldier" was playing at the local cafe, I'd go and listen.
Eeeew!
Ebil. EBIL!
Bwahahaha. Whyyyyy? :)
Oh, I suppose this doesn't say "combat damage", so it's absolutely terrifying on a pinger, so that makes up for it to some extent. Some equipment are allowed to be (Neko-Te, Basilisk Collar), so that's fine, but perhaps this cost (
/ 
as I write) is a reasonable place to stop.
I think this is quite clever and sensible; I fear it's actually overcosted.
and 
for "must be blocked" is quite expensive (cf Nemesis Mask), and this isn't even consistently "must be blocked".
I like this one. Hit player? hurt them a fair bit. Hit their walker? Hurt the player a fair bit; both by denial of resources.
So it makes sense from flavour, and mechanically it's "You really want to block this creature. Really."
So it works. Personally, I think it's not enough planeswalker hate ("When ~ deal combat damage, remove all planeswalkers from M:tG" perhaps?) but that's a side issue - the land destruction is usually probably nastier.
Oh, that's right. ( ? ) results in
.
Alternatively, I really like planeswalker hate like this, cognizant that it means something, but in a separate context from the rest of the game. I understand Link's annoyance. It is likely, though, that time will favor my opinion. It's really hard not to jump sharks in a game with 40 (?) designers/developers. If precedents are to be set, it's better to set it the right way, as opposed to the Despise way, where it's treated like any other card type.
I really don't like specific planeswalker hate like this, even though Wizards set the precedent with Despise.
