Ever done 33 damage on turn 4 for $29? Probably not...

Remember Phalanx Leader ? How about Lagonna-Band Trailblazer ? What about all those other guys you thought were "Unplayable"? Well, Hardened Scales makes all these cheap ass bozos pretty fuckin' awesome. Watch and learn:

Hardened Scales + Phalanx Leader : All your creatures get a lasting +2/+2.

Abzan Falconer + Phalanx Leader : Target the leader, put a +1/+1 counter on everyone, then attack as desired.

Center Soul + Hardened Scales + any heroic creature: Shit just got REAL. The rebound enables you to get two sepperate triggers off ONE card! Use a Phalanx Leader as your target and you can just about start to poop out counters.

Hardened Scales + Launch the Fleet + Phalanx Leader + Another Heroic Spell: DANG!
