Way, waaaaaay back during the Onslaught block, a gaming magazine wrote about a nifty 2-turn kill using an innocuous little card named Tireless Tribe combined with power/toughness swappers. I'm not really sure if Magic players ever took that combination seriously since there aren't a lot of cards like Tireless Tribe to make the give the combo enough redundancy to make it go off consistently, but it was a cute thought exercise for people like me who are tickled with the idea of a victory practically happening out of nowhere.
A lot of players have heralded Assault Formation as the second coming of Doran, the Siege Tower, and have immediately started slotting this little beauty in Tiny Leader decks without much afterthought. I'm not sure if Tiny Leaders will still be alive by the time anyone reads this (since there are a lot of rumors flying around that the format is already "solved") but I hope someone would at least experience the same "A-ha!" moment that I had with this card and Tireless Tribe before Tiny Leaders dies out.
