Slumbering Keepguard is overpowered

Not that I’m complaining though, I’m loving it but it should really be a top tier card, not a 4 cost common.

Why? When you put him in an Ajani, Invigorate Leadership deck, every time you use one of Ajani’s abilities to create Ajani’s Leadership (enchantment) tokens, Slumbering Keepguard triggers and gets +X/+X where X is the number of enchantment supports on the board.

Ajani can very quickly put 8 or more enchantment tokens on the board, so the next time you use one of his abilities, Slumbering Keepguard it gets +9+10+11+12= +42/+42. If he happens to have double strike thanks to Ajani’s 2nd ability, that’s 84 damage being done by a common 4 mana cost creature, usually pretty early in the game too!

Again, not that I’m complaining, I’m having a blast with it and haven’t seen anyone else using it yet. But yeah, realistically I think it’s broken.
