When Sergeant Baras is targeted by a friendly command incantation spell, you may copy and cast that spell again for each other friendly creature up to one zone away, paying the cost for each new target.

I'm not as sure of the usefulness in a regular two player game though, since normally he'd just use that equipment that allows his commands to reach all his friendly soldiers in the arena, or just move to a friendly creature's zone to give the command. Still, it looks awesome.

This card, Sergeant Baras, extends an incantation command spell, like Battle Fury, and copies it to every friendly soldier. It cannot copy the Battle Orders skill in the way Horn of Gothos does because that skill is not an incantation. This means you can benefit from having both cards in play.

I think the ability is very powerful. With Ring of Command in play, a 1 cost Power Strike gives +2 Melee to many soldiers. It may be overpowered...

Post by: Sailor Vulcan on August 09, 2013, 05:51:26 PM: Sir Corazin isn't a knight. However, based on his effects and how he's supposed to be played, I would say Baras really should be both war and holy.
