White Review M14

Hello

With M14 is only a couple of weeks away we should look over some of the cards from the set.  These are only White.... Clearly

Ajani's Chosen
Creature - Cat Soldier
Whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, put a 2/2 white Cat creature token onto the battlefield. If that enchantment is an Aura, you may attach it to the token.
"United, our roar will level mountains."
Illus. Wayne Reynolds	3/3

Its a not a terrible card, but the danger for this card if there is no Rancor in this core set, if that is true this card will be EDH card only. The reason this card is only ok because it doesn't effect the field and doesn't work in a standard environment. While Bant Hexproof is a powerful deck its not worth the money and majority of the cards will be rotating. 

                                               Ajani, Caller of the Pride

Planeswalker - Ajani
+1: Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature. -3: Target creature gains flying and double strike until end of turn. -8: Put X 2/2 white Cat creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is your life total.
Illus. D. Alexander Gregory #1/249	4

This is the second time around we got Ajani, Caller of the Pride. Its kinda sad I was hoping for something better, didn't really see play in current standard and most likely will not after the ISD rotation. 

Angelic Accord
Enchantment
At the beginning of each end step, if you gained 4 or more life this turn, put a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying onto the battlefield.
As demons are drawn to suffering, angels are drawn to acts of benevolence.
Illus. Michael C. Hayes #3/249

Not really a thing, its nothing that will effect the standard environment. Gaining life is not really a winning game strategy until you win because of an effect. 

                                              Angelic Wall

Creature - Wall
Defender, flying
	0/4

Nothing to see here

Archangel of Thune
Creature - Angel
Flying, lifelink Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
Even the wicked have nightmares.
Illus. James Ryman #5/249	3/4

I really really really want this card to be good. Back in the day when Lorwyn was a thing, and plainswalker were balanced and good there was a card called Bane Slayer, this card broke things in a way where your deck needed to have it or be able to deal against it. I really hope this card will be that but more balanced. I would get a play set while they only 15 bucks.

Auramancer
Creature - Human Wizard
When Auramancer enters the battlefield, you may return target enchantment card from your graveyard to your hand.
Illus. Rebecca Guay #6/249	2/2

Once again, its ok. Limited card for a limited deck. 

Banisher Priest
Creature - Human Cleric
When Banisher Priest enters the battlefield, exile target creature an opponent controls until Banisher Priest leaves the battlefield.
"Oathbreaker, I cast you out!"
Illus. William Murai #7/249	2/2

Now this card might replace fiend hunter when ISD rotates, but I really don't see this card going far. Shock is a real thing and this guy will disappoint you every time.

Bonescythe Sliver
Creature - Sliver
Sliver creatures you control have double strike.
"Their appendages are sharper than our words and quicker than our bows." —Hastric, Thunian scout
Illus. Brad Rigney	2/2

Might be a real thing, if you have three slivers with flying, and haste and other nonsense this card is great. But if you just this card it will be bad. Once again this card fails the shock test so its not that great.

Brave the Elements
Instant
Choose a color. White creatures you control gain protection from the chosen color until end of turn.
Illus. Goran Josic

This card was great back in the day, but with RTR being multicolor it might not see play

Capashen Knight
Creature - Human Knight
First strike : Capashen Knight gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
	1/1

Thats cute, nice limited card, that is all

Celestial Flare
Instant
Target player sacrifices an attacking or blocking creature.

Might or not see play, my vote is not, if it was a 1 and a white it would have been infinitely better

Charging Griffin
Creature - Griffin
Flying Whenever Charging Griffin attacks, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
Four claws, two wings, one beak, no fear.
Illus. Erica Yang	2/2

Nice limited card

Dawnstrike Paladin
Creature - Human Knight
Vigilance, lifelink
Crushing darkness beneath her charger's hooves.

If they wanted Angel of Thune was bad this would be it

Devout Invocation
Sorcery
Tap any number of untapped creatures you control. Put a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying onto the battlefield for each creature tapped this way.
A prayer to bring demons to their knees.
Illus. David Palumbo

With an armory of light, even the squire may champion her people.
Illus. Allen Williams

Fiendslayer Paladin

*Serra Angel
