I love Promise of Bunrei as I have a casual white deck during Kamigawa, but not good enough for cube.
Assemble is fun. If you have a big cube, just run it. I think Ajani, Figure of Destiny, Boros Charm, Stronghold, Lightning Helix, and Boros Reckoner are stronger. But after that, it's pretty much just preference.
No, not really, it's not an aggro card. And in midrange and control, I'll actually do that. And just saying a 1/1 demeans the card a lot. In Midrange vs Midrange or Control, it'll be spitting out 3-4 to break out the stalemate fairly often. I play countless mtg cube game that reach turn 7, and by that time this card will provide you with 6 power on 6 body for 4 mana. Surviving with those would then be a pretty easy task.
And by insane I really mean from the design point of view. This card wasn't bad even at 6 cc. It's playable in casual and many cube decide to test it out. To cost a decent card at 2 cost lower than it was print would be insane as an idea. There's a lot of other cards in existence that would become playable in cube if you cut 2 cc off their cost as well.
I personally would play Assemble the Legions over Gisela and Iroas. It's pretty good with Wildfire strategies. But yeah it's a bit slow sometime. Takes 5 turns to get 10 power out of it. Having it ramp on turn 3 with rocks is a sweet game plan though.

It can't cost 4 mana though. It'll be too insane.
