General Comments
Stand Against Darkness is a card that represents 5/5 worth of stats for 5 Mana, which makes it seem underwhelming on first appraisal. However, power spread out across multiple targets is almost always better than an individual body, which gives it higher potential. Multiple minions on the board gives you more targets for potential buffs, as well as giving you much more flexibility as to how to allocate your damage.
Constructed Play
Stand Against Darkness may see play in Constructed due to its strong potential synergies. It can be used to set a base for buff effects such as Blessing of Kings, Seal of Champions, and Defender of Argus amongst others. It also has excellent synergy with Summon effects such as Steward of Darkshire, Sword of Justice, or Knife Juggler.

Stand Against Darkness is no longer available in Arena.
