Re: Stay: This doesn't really feel like an aura (yes, some auras work like this... but it's not how you would describe auras; it's how you'd describe an instant.)
Agree. It's a little borderline for a common too. I can buy 2WGraceful Reprieve (which is the right comparison IMO, not gift) or an aura without flash as a common, but the combination seems more worthy of uncommon. Amazing card name though.
Was Sphinx’s Inspiration always an instant? I'm pretty sure it should be a sorcery.
I still hate, hate, hate Banish. And that Sanctify has gotten powered up (?!?!) is not helping that feeling one one bit. Comparable commons (Angelic Purge, Banishment Decree, Iona's Judgment, Angelic Edict) have mostly been in sets where there was no separate ench/art removal in white. Having two such card feels like overkill. There doesn't seem to be any curve requirement that this be a 5-mana card (unless you just want your white removal to be low quality in general?) so why couldn't this be a 4-mana removal, which are significantly easier to design?
His draw spell has always been an instant. We all know as an instant, it's fine. But wizards will print it as a sorcery, and it might see some play.... as long as there's no 3 mana cost draw 2 instant. This is a design choice on the part of Wizards, and I think it's problematic to say THIS should be an instant before a core set 2U or 1UU "Draw 2" instant. Which is a better, simpler design. This is the cart before the horse.
Sanctify's a sorcery; it's jank. I think it could be 1HH, but who cares? At sorcery speed it's nonsense filler useless that some kid runs because he doesn't know better. For comparison; disenchant and erase; both instant and the measuring sticks in question. Iona's Judgment is embarrassingly bad.
