as for the speculation i'm really hoping he's got that rules text however a bigger body.. because i could really make him entirely broken really quickly. and i would so put him in my knight deck, just for that purpose alone. o.o

Rafiq of the many = many sigils = many exalted (I hope, maybe he will share his Sigils with others like the OP said)
Rafiq of the Many 2WW
Human Knight
Vigilance
Exalted
Creatures you control have exalted (Multiple instances of exalted trigger separately)
Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, it gains double strike until the end of turn.
2/2
If Kresh had more than 3 toughness, I'd say he'd see play too. But 5 mana for a 3/3 makes him so vulnerable to basic removal that its really not a great investment. I know everything dies, but not everything dies equally
"rafiq of the many may attack as though he were'nt alone"
that'd be cool for exalted.
I don't get it. If he can attack "as though he weren't alone" then that would mean he can attack by himself but get no Exalted bonuses. How is that cool?
"rafiq of the many may attack as though he were alone"
That's a little better, but unless he grants it to everyone else attacking with him it won't make any difference.

The card was already revealed. Failure to read the thread = spam warning. Also, failure to be funny.

Would be so awesome.
Would be so BROKEN.
I agree the name and flavor and everything hints to something similar, and it's probably a mythic; but I don't think it'd be so overloaded. Probably if it lost something, like Vigilance or the Double Strike, they'd print something like that.
EDIT: And you didn't even make it Legendary! =O Just noticed
Exalted is such a dumb ability, and if this is the invitational card it makes me sick, it sucks so much, the point of a deck with lots of creatures is to attack, like with more than one creature. LOL shock kills it.

This is NOT the invitational card. We've seen the art (and, Ahem, names) for both and they're not even alike.
True, Exalted breaks W's typical idea that "Weenies come in armies," but I think it's a merely strategic keyword (even MaRo said something similar). I, for one, think it's fun. I think most (if not all) mono-white creatures in Alara are gonna have Exalted or some variant of that (you know, abilities that help the one creature attacking all emo by itself, cutting wrists).
And Shock could even kill a Tarmogoyf that just came into play. I guess that more than 50% of Magic's playable creatures can get killed by that R-costing instant... and yeah, it's funny to think about it that way. LOL
Rafiq, of the Many1W
Legendary Creature - Human Knight
Exalted
At the end of your combat phase, if you control an untapped creature, you may pay 2W. If you do, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase this turn. 1/1
"Creatures you control attack as if they were attacking alone."
This I would like to see. Maybe some other wording but the ability is very cool. Swinging with your whole army and getting exalted bonus for every attacker.
He would basically read: Attacking creatures you control get +X/+X where X is the number of creatures you control with Exalted.
"Creatures you control attack as if they were attacking alone."
I see what everyone is getting at, but wouldn't it be easier to understand: "For each creature you control with exalted, attacking creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn," or "When ~ attacks, ~ gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each creature you control with exalted."
I know it lame-ifies the elegance of being so indirect, but seriously, what other benefit can Rafiq gain from that ability at this point?
Obviously this is just wild speculation, but what about an ability that interacts with exalted in a different way, like, "Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, you may tap any number of untapped creatures you control and have them attack." Or something similar.
I find it interesting that Rafiq has "The Many" in his name, when exalted is an ability for a solo strike.
"The Many" refers to his numerous Sigils, marks of distinction for honor, valor, etc. They're sort of like medals, but give magical enhancements to the wearer.

This dude will have some SWEET flavor text.
2/2
I imagine he will have something to do with large amounts of exalted-ness, given his many sigils.

I just hope he's effectively costed, and hopefully rule-oriented (although I'm sure it will be a combat-oriented creature... maybe both!.

But when you go back to that post in the future, you can click on the card!
Exalted 1

I suppose he'll have the aforementioned "Creatures you control gain Exalted" or more likely "Creatures with Exalted you control gain Exalted."
Would be so BROKEN.

This is hilarious.
