Reviews
Giving +1/+1 to all your creatures is a very powerful ability and getting to it in as a is exceptionally strong. I'm already sold on Bard's Company on those details alone, but throw in some free recruits and you've got yourself an extremely powerful rare.
However, white has the best rares of any color by a substantial degree.An Unexpected Party, Fíli, Kíli, The Eagles Are Coming!, The Queen of Dale, Bard's Company, Dáin's Company… need I go on?
Obviously an amazing rare, although the is somewhat conditional and it has trouble attacking more than once. Be careful of getting your Bard's Company removed in the middle of combat (or of your WU opponent having it).
Bard's Company: Basically another Last Stand in creature form. Look for humans.
