Still, I'd say 3 damage to the face each turn is a pretty solid ability to have in Limited. Way better in ending the game than the Selesnya counterpart.
You're more likely to have EOT options that keeping six up isn't the worst but still probably not what you want. Unless you're in Naya then you're probably not running this it is too small and puny.
Underwhelming. The "tap another creature" ability should be good in Limited but the other activated ability and stats don't make the grade. Won't be terribly useful even in RW Path of Mettle or Wizards post-rotation.
I think this is pretty decent in limited. It plays multiple roles, shutting down their biggest attacker on defense and acting as a manasink that provides reach on offense. It isn't always easy to find a 2 drop that can be flexible like this.
I’m betting this will surprise a lot of you in draft.
I agree. This is really what Boros wants to be doing. Early game he can be mentored into a 3/3 attacker, mid game he can clear away problematic blockers for your other attackers, and late game he gives you reach to close out the game once your opponent has stabilized. Very solid all around.
Thank you for helping me put this into words. What boros wants to be doing is stuff that only works in limited. I think you've described my problem with boros very well. constructed players, we need the red - white color combination to start including some cards that actually have constructed application.

In Commander it's... still bad but less so.

Still a pretty narrow use case for this dude.

The Mentor cards haven't been too bad. We got back Skyknight Legionaire, and not everything has been spoiled yet.
