I have been waiting for this art to appear on a card since it was revealed in the mechanics video. I was hoping it would be either a blue or white card (I did suspect the latter was possible) so I could use it in my Ephara EDH, which has a Jace and Theros theme. And I am beyond delighted to know it is in white, I can play it in my Ephara deck, and it actually synergies well with it! I ADORE THIS ART!
The hoplite is a cheaper, weaker Evangel of Heliod I guess the human subtype does add a lot though. A spider is still nice, it was nice during the leak.
Wow that Hoplite is actually a worse version of Evangel of Heliod. I didn't even know that was possible. Considering Setessan Priest is literally a straight upgrade most of the time to Nylea's Disciple (unless you really wanted that centaur and/or archer tribal).
PRO
-1 CMC (4W from 4WW)
Neutral
Soldier typing instead of Cleric
CONS
-1 Toughness (1/2 from 1/3)
-1 Devotion (W from WW)
Oh and its not even a lower rarity like common. So this is meant to be just as rare in a pack as the Evangel.
Finally a 1 drop spider for my Spider Formation deck. Spider Tribal gets some support AN it can be brought back from the graveyard for defense if needed.

This being a Soldier itself makes it far outclass Evangel. Evangel is now garbage because this exists.

A Cleric making Soldier tokens in a Cleric deck is stupid especially when you have to go multicolor to do it make it a little cheaper. Unlike a mono white Soldier making mono white Soldier tokens in mono white Soldier deck.
