About Akrasan Squire

Akrasan Squire, Creature — human soldier, designed by Todd Lockwood first released in Oct, 2008 in the set Shards of Alara. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.13.

This Akrasan Squire card would be beneficial in a White Weenie deck in Magic: the Gathering, where the strategy revolves around playing low-cost, efficient creatures and overwhelming the opponent with a swarm of attackers. While Akrasan Squire's Exalted ability can provide a temporary power boost to a lone attacker, there are potentially better options like Student of Warfare or Elite Vanguard that offer more consistent value in this type of deck. Akrasan Squire could see play as a budget option or as a flexible inclusion in certain builds, but it may not be a staple choice for competitive play.

Rules

10/01/08

Exalted bonuses last until end of turn. If an effect creates an additional combat phase during your turn, a creature that attacked alone during the first combat phase will still have its exalted bonuses in that new phase. If a creature attacks alone during the second combat phase, all your exalted abilities will trigger again.

10/01/08

If you declare exactly one creature as an attacker, each exalted ability on each permanent you control (including, perhaps, the attacking creature itself) will trigger. The bonuses are given to the attacking creature, not to the permanent with exalted. Ultimately, the attacking creature will wind up with +1/+1 for each of your exalted abilities.

10/01/08

Some effects put creatures onto the battlefield attacking. Since those creatures were never declared as attackers, they’re ignored by exalted abilities. They won’t cause exalted abilities to trigger. If any exalted abilities have already triggered (because exactly one creature was declared as an attacker), those abilities will resolve as normal even though there may now be multiple attackers.
