Rally the Righteous

Once again noone else seems to have caught this one, from http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr194



Rally the Righteous
1RW
Instant
Common

Radiance- Untap target creature and each other creature that shares a color with it. Those creatures get +2/+0 until end of turn.

Yuri took up the ragged Boros banner, and his brethren, inspired by the act, followed him back into the fight.

that card WILL see play in r/w weenie decks...count on it smashing your face in, in a couple of weeks.

Well, I think the trick is to use its untap ability as well as the powerup. Instant speed super-blockers, and nice tap effects.

RW weenie is going to be a threat. Watch out for it.

this card is horrible if someone plays the same color as you. It will not see play in white weenie and i would be shocked to see it in antother deck from ravnica. radiance counts toward their creatures as well so all you are doing is untaping there creatures to block yours.

lol, if it is going to be that bad a situation, you just don't play the card lol. This is actually a really nice combat trick.
you could essentially have 8 in your deck if you also used Path of Anger's Flame. ;)

Not for the mirror, obviously- but even then you may have some options. For exmaple, if the opponent doesn't control a white creature, and you do.

I played soem aggro, and my favorite combo was Call to Glory and Hold the Line (I only play aggro casually) There is just something heartwarming about watching your opponent's Iwamori smash himself to pieces against your devoted retainer...

This card has the white untap-for-defense flavor, and the red flavor of +2+0. I think this card would have been infinitely better, or maybe to powerful if it was +2+2.

As it is though it is really good removal for a weenie deck. But if you have to trade creatures though, it may not be worht it, since you have to build your army up again.

Of course, so will they...

Quite nice in weenie decks with Promise of Bunrei.

As this card is an instant, you can actually attack into a field of tapped creatures of the same colour, wait until no blockers have been declared, and then play this card. Sure, you untap and +2/+0 their guys, but those guys happen to be nonblocking guys on the wrong turn, and it probably won't help them much.

It's a nice combat trick in limited but otherwise won't see much play in Constructed.
