The Squirrel tokens get the bonus, so they are effectively 2/2 creatures until the Hermit leaves the battlefield. And they get bigger if multiple Hermits are on the battlefield.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #12,354 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
