About Herald of the Host

Herald of the Host, Creature — angel, designed by Nils Hamm first released in Nov, 2015 in the set Commander 2015 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 57.61.

This card would be a great addition to a white weenie or angel tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides a powerful aggressive threat with flying and vigilance, along with the potential to create multiple token copies of itself through the Myriad ability. While Herald of the Host is a strong card for these decks, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, such as Avacyn, Angel of Hope for a more impactful angel creature. However, Herald of the Host can definitely see play in the right deck that aims to swarm the board with powerful angel creatures and overwhelm the opponent.

Rules

11/04/15

Although the tokens enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attackers. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won’t trigger, including the myriad ability of the tokens. If there any costs to have a creature attack, those costs won’t apply to the tokens.

11/04/15

Each token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else. It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

11/04/15

If myriad creates more than one token for any given player (due to an effect such as the one Doubling Season creates), you may choose separately for each token whether it’s attacking the player or a planeswalker they control.

11/04/15

If the defending player is your only opponent, no tokens are put onto the battlefield.

11/04/15

The tokens created by the myriad ability enter the battlefield tapped even though they’ll have vigilance.
