Veteran's Voice
I actually just had the thought of this card
when I first saw it. I didn't like it. I was
pretty bad at Magic then. I thought that tapping
a creature to give another one +2/+1 was pretty
bad. Spending an enchant creature card to do it
isn't all that much better (or appealing) and
I'm a much better player now than I was then.

Props to Doll for paying attention on what day
it is today and going with a theme. I can't call
Veteran's Voice a great card, but I can't really
call it bad, either. Giving a creature the
ability to pick-and-choose what creature gets
+2/+1 until the end of turn isn't horrible, and
the price, sitting at a single red mana, is
right. Unfortunately, Veteran's Voice is a
creature enchantment (or enchantment - aura),
which means your opponent can easily two-for-one
you if he destroys the creature this card is
attached to. It also doesn't provide quite
enough boost to your team to really warrant
risking losing the two-for-one fight, like past
cards like Rancor, Armadillo Cloak, and Elephant
Guide have.

Now here's a
creature I've not heard of before. I've been a
card dealer for over 5 years, and I still
occasionally run across a previously unknown.
Voice gives a creature an ability not usually
found in Red - an offensive AND defensive pump.
Defensive pumps are usually relegated to White
or Green now. For the cost, it's not bad, but
it's still an aura, which means, if your
creature gets killed, you probably got 2 for
1'd. Still, not horrible filler for limited play
(in case you ever get to play Alliances limited
;)

Just the card we need on Vertans Day, you know
somthing was planned on this day. Anyway, in
Limited for its time i would say it was good
perhapes even great if you have more then a
couple of creatures. You could play it on a meat
shield to pump a beast for the winning kill or
somthing else that runs through your mind.
Possibly good in constructed, i'm not quite
sure, i wasn't playing around this set. But for
casual, it's useless to me, especially by this
day and age their is like more then 5 years of
cards better then this one... to end, Happy
B-day Veterans, and thatnks for your sacrifice
has yet again influenced Magic the Gathering!

- Oh man, here's an old favorite. Why, you ask?
Does this look like just a silly normal Aura,
with nothing much going for it? The combo
potential here is enormous. Although there are
probably better combos using more current cards,
but I want to give you a taste of what we used
this card for back in 1996. There's only one
creature who's awesome power could be suitably
combined with the Veteran's Voice: the Brass
Man. That's right, the janky Arabian Nights card
(or Revised version than everyone back then had
a million of) was the perfect combination. For
each activation of the Brass Man during your
upkeep, you could tap him to give something else
+2/+1. That's a hefty bonus for 1 mana, and you
can do it over and over! So pump the heck out of
your Escape Artist, Phantom Warrior or whatever
else. I love this card, but that's probably just
nostalgia talking.
