Wow!!! I gotta say, this design is impressive and works perfectly of how Inscribe would work, lol. Which card is worthy, @kaoz42? It'll get a fav, and an in-depth review here.
ALSO: You are one design way the meet the "third card bonus"! Your next card will earn you three favs of choice!
Banneret of the Ash Host is a very interesting card to add in an aggressive deck. Do not deny the power of this card. The power boost its capable of giving can most certainly end games, although, it's required to attack itself to provide the anthem effect. A 2/2 body are some low stats for a 3 mana card, but first strike definitely helps the card to get into combat. Finally, the last ability gives the card its true Flagbearer vibe. If you're capable of holding mana up, this card insures that your nonflagbearer creatures will not be harmed.
The card definitely feels like a Flagbearer. It's a must-kill threat with it's powerful anthem ability and the protection it can give to other creatures is very strong as well. It feels very balanced, since it's really weak on it's own, but with an army of creatures and more protection spells for the Flagbearer itself, it can create an unstoppable position. My only concern with the design is, typically, Flagbearers are creatures that are so weak that you wouldn't mind removal spells coming their way. This card, like other Flagbearers, is a lightning rod, but you actually DON'T want this creature to die. I'm not sure if that really follows the whole Flagbearer design. Regardless, this card is great. 85/100
Come on people! I want to see so many cards using this mechanic, so that it'll go viral and Wizards will actually add it to the real game. I can't do it alone.
Rampaging Wrathborn is a really intriguing design indeed. I LOVE the art AND flavour! Having a really large creature that's undercosted can really be useful. The big flavour about this card is that it shocks other creatures that attack with it, as if your own army of righteous soldiers just gets trampled by devils, which is really funny. That even relates to its own flavour text! I know this is more of a flavour card than anything actually impressive in practice, so this gets a 90/100 for that. In practice, I would NEVER play this card lol, especially when there's better alternatives.
My only concern is with this card in some kind of draft format. Imagine you draft this along with some cards that could give it trample, double strike, or even if you have something like Fling. In a slow format like draft, that would be pretty unfair, especially since this is an uncommon, making it pretty likely for you to draft. Just a thought about that
Hey, I just wanted to say that I liked your mechanic so much so I wanted to add it to a contest I have made, @ManInMaroon_948. I am also giving you credit for your mechanic.
Well, I think I'll be retiring from this mechanic, at least for now. After 22 cards, I'm pretty inscribed out, lol. I do want to thank everyone SO MUCH for creating cards with this mechanic as well. It really warms my heart.
...but this ISN'T goodbye! I'm sure I'll make more cards with this mechanic someday, and you STILL can too! Remember, for EVERY card you post here, I'll favourite it. I'll also favourite and give a review of another card of your choice.

Here's my latest mythic for this set... I'm really proud of this one.
