Rally and Charge (formerly Cycling Reckless Charge)

[Anusien]

I was reading MaRo's Common Courtesy and wanted to make a red instant that pumps power and either grants first strike or haste.  A Lightning Reflexes or Reckless Charge type effect.
One of my favorite mechanics is cycling, and I love the Onslaught cycling cards that granted minor effects.  I wanted to explore that design space a little further.

[Cycling Reckless Charge] -
Sorcery
Target creature gets +3/+0 and gains haste until end of turn.
Cycling R
When you cycle ~this~, you may have target creature gain haste until end of turn.

Current Version:
Rally and Charge -
Sorcery
Target creature gets +3/+0 and gains haste until end of turn.
Cycling R
When you cycle Rally and Charge, you may have target creature gain haste until end of turn.
Soldiers! Form up! Charge!

I like this card. It's very simple. I think you can remove the "you may" from the cycle ability for extra elegance.

[Anusien]

Nah.  All the optional cycles had you may.

Added a name: Rally and Charge.  Rally represents the power boost, Charge is the haste ability.
Flavor text?

Flavor text help, anyone?

Flavor text help, anyone?

The card needs a short exclamation. Something like "Into the battle!" or "Soldiers! Form up! Charge!".

"For the Horde!"

Help me flavor text this?  Or should we just add it as-is and add some later?
