3/3 for 3
Excellent Battalion effect.
Sphinx's Revelation Hoser/delayer.
Hard to not see this as a mandatory 4-of for Boros weenies.

Well... it makes your overextending less vulnerable to combat tricks, at least. Shame it doesn't do anything against board wipe.
Needless to say, a complete house in Limited, even though that last ability feels... really random.

Mehhhh, that last ability feels tacked on. Ruins an otherwise decent card for me.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

I think this will definitely see play. 3/3 for 3, relatively powerful effect and the ability to flip off anyone who tries to Sphinx's Revelation  .

I like the card but I really don't get it. I get the first ability the frontline medic makes it difficult to kill the attacking creatures. The second ability doesn't tie into the card well at all. I'm glad it's there and it makes the creature better but it makes no sense. I wish they had used that ability on a creature without the battalion mechanic.

I agree with everybody else. The card is good, but that last ability is just awkward. It's like they said, "Oh, spells are getting played too much in FFL! Better slap on a random hosing ability." or something..

Definitely feels like: "Hrm, we need an answer to X spells that can be played in our white aggro archtype but not on a card that was already an auto-include." That said, this card really belongs in swarm decks that would like to be able to attack through bigger guys. Maybe have Rootborn Defenses  as a sweeper protector.

Nice card for limited. I am thinking it should have been uncommon. Maybe it damaged the FFL's limited games as an uncommom.
Still a good card. a 3/3 for 3 is good, its batalion is makes combat often onesided. Its last abiltiy seems pretty limited but can have use.
This card will probably eat a kill pretty soon, whicih at 3 mana is not terrible since if it does make for a turn can do some nice things for you. Boros really wants some way to give creatures haste.

This is the worst design I've seen in a long time.
Why not just print "Counter target Sphinx's Revelation" on it. It doesn't even make any sense on this card.
