Well... that's a card.

"We realized that we printed a scalable, build-your-own ultimatum so we're spending this entire set correcting that. Please enjoy your new version of Wizards of the Coast Brand Fun (tm)."

But on the real, this card has a lot going for it:
1. It's a human.
2. It's 3 mana 3/3, putting in on-curve with characters like Mayor of Avabruk, Thalia, and Champion of the Parish in GW/x Humans while not being the less-than-aggressive Fiend Hunter.
3. Your creatures are indestructible when attacking with it, alleviating the dreaded "Restoration Angel telegraph and subsequent blowout," as well as winning you battles with Thragtusk.
4. It makes Sphinx's Revelation even less of an out for the myriad control decks.

This card does not keep you from getting blown out by Terminus/Supreme Verdict/Angel of Serenity, but it allows you to effectively plow through the hurdles like Thragtusk and Sphinx's Revelation that
really make those cards your biggest problems.

I would have been happy with that card without the counter ability.

[Checkbox]

I don't believe you.

[Thrillho]

The indestructibility is actually huge. You have a format of 3 or less power creatures that trade poorly with Thragtusk or get straight-up owned by Restoration Angel, and this guy effectively smashes that and even gives your non-attacking creatures indestructibility.

[Kaitscralt]

It's a powerful card, no doubt about it.

[Pendulum]

Oh son of a bitch I didn't even realize it was ALL your creatures, not just attacking ones.

[Yannaria]

this card is awesome.
