Why is this card good?
Ignoble Hierarch is the Jund-colored cousin of Noble Hierarch, and it's one of the best one-drop mana dorks in those colors. A turn-one Hierarch into a turn-two three-drop is exactly the kind of acceleration aggressive and combo decks crave.
Why it's good: It fixes across black, red, and green while ramping, which is genuinely hard to find on a one-mana body. The exalted is mostly irrelevant in multiplayer, but the mana matters every game.
Who wants it:
- Jund/Rakdos/Golgari/Gruul aggro and midrange that want to curve out fast.
- Voltron or "attacks alone" commanders (Skullbriar, Rograkh) that actually leverage exalted.
- Combo decks that need cheap, color-fixing acceleration.
When not to play it: Heavy go-wide token or aristocrats decks rarely attack alone, so exalted is dead, and you may prefer ramp that's more resilient (rocks, Cultivate) since dorks die to every board wipe. In slower, grindy pods, a fragile X/1 underperforms.

A creature attacks alone if it's the only creature declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step (including creatures controlled by your teammates, if applicable). For example, exalted won't trigger if you attack with multiple creatures and all but one of them are removed from combat.
