Not sure how the proliferate ones are supposed to work - they're all net negative on the reprieve counters.
And you can't swing a dead cat without hitting an infinite combo with Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar, so why care about adding a 3 card one with a 6 mana creature?
you proliferate the reprieve counter you just used on the creature (you put it back on) and plus don't doubling effect.
It costs a number of reprieve counters equal to the mana value, you need the Doubling Season for it to work at all.

Why are we talking about the Meathook ban? This isn't gonna be a problem in Standard anyway, probably not even playable unless Brothers' War slows the meta down a lot.
I mentioned already in another thread but, unless I am missing something, we are still lacking the cards from 29-36 in the commander section right after the set booster exclusive cards.
What are these? Special versions from the set booster exclusives? like retro frame or the like? Does anybody know?
This is not meant for constructed, that's what Valiant Veteran was made for. They likely didn't want two good soldier lords in standard, so this one got stats for limited.
I mean, I hope this is real. I know a guy whose Monkey Tribal deck is gonna go ape-sh** for this but on the flip side, the skeptic in me feels like this isn't legit for a whole lot of reasons that my sleep deprived brain can't convey tonight. Perhaps an edit tomorrow?
Mark Rosewater seems to confirm its legitimacy here. Can't tell where it came from though,
The powerstones die before you can tap them because they are 0/0. They have summoning sickness, so they can't even be tapped. You need to give them +1/+1 and haste, making the combo even more johnnyesque. Oh, and the powerstone come into play already tapped, so you'd need one of those rare cards that statically untaps creatures when they come into play... (intruder alarm, for example, but then if you play that there are MUCH easier combos to achieve)
Life and Limb will turn them into 1/1s so they don't die. This happens regardless of time stamp order because Life and Limb is dependent on the animating effect of March of the Machines and so always applies after. This combo will end the game in a draw without a way to interrupt it, so have a way to get rid of the wurm handy.
because It’s looking at its power on ETB so changes while on the stack let’s you dig further without the heavy cost
Just so it's clear, you could also Giant Growth this before the ETB goes off if you really wanted the extra scry. What matters is its power when the triggered ability resolves. An additional note: it doesn't change the behavior here, but anthems do not change the stats of creature spells on the stack.
She encourages you to hurt yourself. Sounds like a bad influence to me.

My guess is those are the 8 retro frame basics.
If you're looking for cards for a soldier deck in Brothers' War, you want Recruitment Officer, Siege Veteran, Skystrike Officer and Harbin, Vanguard Aviator, all of which are really solid cards. Another playable lord is not required.

It says "another soldier," so it'd just be 3, but otherwise, yes.
