A pump engine that scales with board width rather than a single bonus, and that distinction is the whole reason it reads better than its body suggests. The trigger fires off every Ally entering, not just itself, so each new creature you commit pushes the entire team a step harder. The bonus is power only, anthem-style across all your Allies at once, and it stacks: drop two Allies in a turn and the first arrivals are still swinging for the cumulative total. Haste matters here because the card wants to be deployed into an existing board and attack immediately, turning a developing turn into a lethal one before blockers can be sandbagged. The optional wording ("you may") exists to keep the trigger from forcing combat math you don't want, but in practice the question is almost always yes. What it is not is a standalone threat: a 1/1 that needs a critical mass of tribe members to mean anything, which makes it a payoff card rather than an enabler, the piece you want online before you start flooding the board. Within the Ally lineage it sits among the explicitly aggressive members, rewarding a go-wide curve where each entering creature is both a body and a damage multiplier.
