This will replace Dragon Hunter for me. The dragon clause never came up and this has some corner synergies in token decks.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

Nice. It's probably going to be a 2/1 for W most of the time, but I also agree it'll prob be more relevant than dragon synergies. The only thing is it's not a human, so someday it will probably be replaced because of that as I imagine the human synergies will get there eventually.
Replacing Dragon Hunter too.
At least with this ability you have control of; though it will be a little difficult to achieve and the payoff is not that good.
Still a good 2/1 for W.
Not bad. It'll push one of the lesser 2-power 1-drops out of most lists. The Ascend trigger isn't particularly consistent, but it'll matter more than the dragon clause on the Hunter.

This. I heavily support tokens and I could realistically see this card getting flying. Not unattainable when curving into Brimaz and/or Hero of Bladehold.
You’ll get ascend almost anytime you cast cloudgoat ranger or angel of invention, and the token making walkers at 4 also get you pretty close. I think this is probably better than woe-reaper or dragon hunger, though it depends a bit on how much you support reanimation.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
We don't have Gameday promos, period. I forget what they call the new ones, but the RIX promos for whatever event they're running now are Silvergill Adept and the enormous green dino.

well *****e. i was hoping we would get gamedays in addition to those.
I will! I love the new FNM promos. The foil tokens and the foil promo basic lands in the Showdown packs are so much better than the old prizes. I haven't cared about FNM prizes since the era of the old-bordered foil FNM cards. Now I care about every season's new promo land releases.
The promo lands for showdown are great but at my store the owner has to force people to take their fino tokens, while there are many FNM promos in my cube
On topic, better than dragon hunter and lions, more get be better in topdeck or stallls but those are small percentages in white aggro
2 Power 1 drops are still some of my favorite things to get spoiled. Always interesting to see how much they can push the 1 mana creature slot. Also importantly, the upgrades are real especially for red. Stromkirk Noble, Soul-scar Mage, and Jackal Pups can all be upgraded realistically.
It's still probably pretty far away unless it's rare or mythic, not that rarity really matters for us.
EDIT: Nvm, read that as 2/1 double striker. A 1/1 double striker is way more feasible soon, although we're still probably at least 2 years out unless it ends up in a supplemental product.
Me and my friend had a conversation about the possibility of a 1/1 double striker for W. Given the trajectory of 2-power 1-drops, I don't think that card is too far away, potentially.
Highly doubt it. I've read a good amount of design articles and they're aware how powerful double strike is because it scales so powerfully. 2-mana is the absolute floor for 1/1 double strike I'd bet
I like the card, but I think I still prefer playing human 1-drops for Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant. I currently only have 2 non-human white 1-drops at 450: Dryad Militant ans Isamaru, Hound of Konda, both of which I think I like more than Skymarcher Aspirant, but hey I could be wrong in how difficult it is to get the City's Blessing in which case this card is great, but I find that unlikely.

Kinda hard to get Ascend with aggro, but cards like Goblin Rabblemaster and Hanweir Garrison will help.

Ascend will be very tough to achieve in an agro deck, but not impossible... It'll happen more often than blocking a dragon at least

Same here, although these same-ey W 2/1's with tiny upside all feel so interchangeable because all their upside comes up like 2% of the time at best.

A 2/1 DST for would be ridiculous, that may not happen ever. That is absurd, what a pain in the butt!
