Creatures you control get +1/+0 and can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.
I like to think of it as an expensive 'alpha strike' spell. But, he does pump toughness, so there's a plus. It could probably be a sorcery because you just drop this as a finisher and swing with all your dudes. In a R/G/x aggro shell where you've got a pumped Stromkirk/Experiment One, Flinthoof Boar, and Reckoner/Wolfir Avenger (plus maybe some more dudes if you draw this card later) by turn 4, thats alot of damage. Thoughts?
I'd have to agree with you. Drop this in Naya Blitz and now they have a chance to win if the game gets past T4-T5, maybe getting in those last few points before Sphinxs Revelation and Thragtusk take over. The +1 is really just a bonus. Just making all your creatures nearly unblockable is gonna seal the deal most of the time
Token decks could find a use for this too. The +1 is more relevant here but a bunch of Lingering Souls that are already difficult to block just get harder to defend against
I'm thinking a naya blitz, jund, or rug aggro decks could really utilize this. It really helps all of your weenies get in for that last damage you need.
I sure don't see it taking a spot from Hellrider in the "win now for four mana" card. Gruul Charm and Glaring Spotlight make your creatures unblockable, neither is particularly good.
This is too expensive and doesn't get enough of a benefit in being an enchantment. Not going to be relevant.

Seems very similar to Hero of Oxid Ridge, except it makes your creatures more difficult to block against any deck. Seems like either a great sb or md card if things like Bant Control continue to be a thing, because now just playing Thragtusk doesn't do enough.

Definitely won't replace Hellrider, but will go nicely along with it. I agree with everyone saying it will be used. I would imagine it as a 2-3x in any R/G aggro deck to be sided in against aggro maybe midrange.
