Fervent Charger

Fervent Charge is a great card, but the fact that it is useless on its own is a very glaring flaw, so I decided to make a creature version of it, as seen, below:
Fervent Charger Show
This creature has the same mana cost as Fervent Charge , because I feel that that card is overcosted by today’s standards; if it were printed today, it would almost certainly cost 1 mana less. I also gave it haste so that it could attack and gain its own benefit immediately, which means that it will be a 5/5 for 4 mana, but creatures have become far more powerful in recent years, so I feel that this is acceptable.
What does everyone else say about this card? Do you feel that it is a good design?

Or it could go “If Fervent Charger is equipped...”

TypicalTimmy, that is a very good suggestion, but what about raising the cost to , or would that fail to balance it?

I would honestly change it to "Whenever another creature attacks, that creature gets +2/+2" until end of turn. Because otherwise it's a 5/5 haste essentially.

The wording's a bit off. The way it'd be worded is "When this creature attacks, other attacking creatures get +2/+2 until end of turn"

TypicalTimmy, I never consider rarity as a balancing factor for a card, since it has no mechanical impact; as with movie ratings, I believe that rarity should be assigned after the card is complete; i.e., power determines rarity, not the other way around.

Funkydiscogod Agreed on the losing of haste. The rest seems fine.
Exert would reduce it to a finisher move in an aggro deck, whereas a non-hasty anthem pumper would be more of a mid-range value tool.
Falcoshin No, the wording is fine as it is. It is literally a creature version of Fervent Charge . Flavor would likely agree with you that this needs to be attacking along with the army to provide the pump, but it is little different from Ogre Battledriver that provides its benefits "from the backseat".

I like it. I kind of want it to be a Knight, but only because Syr Gwyn would appreciate another pump. Berserker makes sense too.
