I think it's worse than both pegasus (and mistral charger by that logic) and youth in an aggro deck, and I think relic seeker is a bad card. I've never tried to make a cube that large, so I don't know how far you'd have to dig to get good agressive white 2-drops.
I think you have to ask if those kind of decks often want a 2/2 first strike, as that's what this will be most of the time. This might be good enough for peasant cubes too?
I think all the various 3/1 creatures with upsides are better, and there's a few of those now. And I don't even have room for any of those variants. These might be fringe-playable at 720+, since I like that the 3/2 mode can be controlled by you, but I can't see them making the cut in cubes smaller than that.
This is way better than White Knight, 1W >>>> WW. The nice thing about these new knights is that you can get the bonus if you're playing the opposing color. Very playable card, but I don't need this at 540.
If I'm in W/B, this will make my deck. If I'm not, this goes in the sideboard in the hopes that I can bring it in for game 2. This isn't a bad card, but the floor is low, and I think that will confine it to large and/or peasant cubes.
Seems decent for 630+ cube in 2cc white. I think it's better that Relic Seeker, Stormfront Pegasus or Cloistered Youth and it's definitely worse than Adanto Vanguard.
What do you think ?

I think it's a lot better than White Knight. I don't think it's even close, actually.

I used to write for MTGS, including Cranial Insertion and cube articles. Good on you if you can find those after the upgrade.
