I'll probably play both of these. Infect is not so bad on the Crusader, he's amazing in the red zone and can put on some equipment to kill in three or two hits once the board is clear. He'd likely be better usually without in infect, but he's still easily good enough IMO.
Yup. I will be playing the white one for sure. Not the infect guy, but certainly that white creature. Holy crap. I will be playing it in addition to the rest of my 3-drop double-protection guys.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.

Despite having pro green instead of pro red (what could you really expect, though) the white one is probably at least on par with Pally-en-vec. Better than Mystic Crusader, IMO.
And the black one, despite having infect, is really very tempting. It rocks combat amazingly well and against some decks can even get there if they don't have non-white non-red removal (which is common enough). Won't actually make the cut in most cubes, but it's a damn good card.
Against a W/R deck, he's awesome. Against everything else, he's just not very good. They can block it with the other 60+% of creatures in the cube, and he's non-linear with the rest of the normal creatures/burn in your deck.

I'd say, with infect, 10/10 should be enough.
And it looks like the Soltari Visionary in my cube has finally found a replacement.
Uril, the Miststalker RGW -- Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre C -- Vhati il-Dal BG -- Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer RW -- Animar, Soul of Elements URG
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker R -- Maga, Traitor to Mortals B -- Ghave, Guru of Spores BGW -- Sliver Hivelord WUBRG
that's a fair swap, he's in my 2nd string.
Phyrexian Crusader is also awesome, and i would also add this one if it didn't have infect...
Black dork, would be so good if he didn't have infect.
