Nacatl War-Pride is rather interesting for a six-drop. Instead of being some truly enormous bruiser, it's a meager 3/3. Or more accurately... it's an entire army of 3/3s! Rather than trying to punch through enemy defenses by virtue of being an enormous trampler, the War-Pride creates an entire army to ambush your enemy's creatures one-on-one. Note that you'll always be attacking with one more creature than your opponents have, since you have a token for each creature he has in addition to the original, and that while they all must be blocked if able, you'll still get tokens for your opponent's tapped or otherwise unable-to-block critters.

The abilities of the War-Pride have many applications. No amount of 2/2s or smaller can hold off a War-Pride, as they'll all be forced into single combat, and since the Pride tokens force your opponent to block them, your other creatures can all charge through unopposed. This unique ability combos effectively with a staggering number of cards: consider what happens when you attack with Parallel Lives out. Getting a token for each of your opponent's creatures means one of the attacking cats gets through. But twice that number? That's a whole lot of creatures who will inevitably go unblocked. Humorously, the more blockers your opponent has, the less defended he is! Rhys the Redeemed will do you one better - a replacement effect that increases the tokens you get won't treat them any differently than any other tokens made by the War-Pride. However, the delayed exile trigger from the token is not a copiable value, so if you were to manually copy a War-Pride token, it will stick around permanently. The best part of this? They aren't just 3/3s, they're exact copies of the original War-Pride - meaning they get to make tokens as well! Your attack phases should get out of hand very quickly, even if the original is killed... that, or the game will be over. One of the two.

Of course, vanilla 3/3s can't always carry the game. Bow of Nylea makes your War-Pride tokens lethal in combat, meaning a single attack will kill every last creature your opponent has. Champion of Lambholt grows to enormous size each time the War-Pride attacks, making the whole army just unblockable and bulldozing your opponent. Both the Champion and War-Pride are Warriors, meaning Bramblewood Paragon can give them a boost (and let most of the damage Trample through when combined with the Bow of Nylea!)
