The hidden enchantments from Urza's would actually tie in pretty well with enchantment creatures if that's the Future Sight mechanic they're bringing back. i.e. Enchantments that become creatures to show they are from a divine source, and the gods themselves are Enchantment Creatures. Enchantment = god, Creature = mortal? Maybe?

All my friends tell me that peer pressure is cool.
I could be wrong, but I thought MaRo had stated that Enchantment Creatures were a development misstep and wouldn't likely be revisited? Can anyone confirm/deny?

He said that it was a mistake to not make them feel like enchantments, mechanically. It feels like a normal creature with the enchantment type added for no good reason.
Since Sylvan means "relating to the forest", and we have another green Caryatid elsewhere (Carven Caryatid), there is no reason to think why Sylvan Caryatid can't be green either.
The question would be whether this is a support card like Carven Caryatid, or an offensive card.
With the name Sylvan in the title I have no reason to think this is anything but green.
My dream card would be a bear with the Sylvan Library function attached to it.
Looking at previous Sylvan card most are card advantage related, so I wouldn't be surprised if this fetched a forest or let you draw card equal to the number of enchantments.
I don't expect this to be much of a beater unless it gets +1/+1 for each enchantment you have. I doubt this will be a sleeper(until an opponent does x , or until you cast an enchantment, etc.)
My guess is it will be something along the lines of an improved Carven Caryatid. Maybe a reasonably sized defender with hexproof that lets you draw a card at the beginning of your upkeep as long as it's enchanted or buffs enchanted creatures, moves auras around - something like that.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Enchantment that turns into a an artifact creature?
"Sylvan" suggests green, so no. I'd suggest:
Wall
Manland
Enchantment that turns into a creature
I would bet against "mana rock that turns into a creature"; we had those in RTR.
If it's a manland, we know automatically that there's going to be an insular caryatid, a volcanic caryatid, a rustic caryatid, and a baltic caryatid. (For blue, red, white, and black, respectively.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Anyone think this will be a play off of Carven Caryatid? Perhaps a caryatid that produces mana?(Sylvan cards usually have some way of increasing your mana theshold)
Sylvan Caryatid 1G
Creature - Plant (R)
Defender, hexproof
T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

Ooo... nice, and i'm assuming the artwork is that picture in the trailer of the pretty carving in the trees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNewZZPKH-U seconds :16-:17 (ish)? if so it's really pretty! love the hexproof!
I like how it has defender, meaning it can be used in conjunction with Axebane Guardian and Gatecreeper Vine to create a ton of green mana for standard!
Really really good card. Can replace Farseek almost easily, in my opinion. How many cards we have in standard, except for wraths, that can kill this guy in the first turns? I can't think one

i should hope so. it IS a photo.
I figured it was a joke (Come on, Walnut? :isthatso:) but I like my jokes to be super accurate to accentuate the punch line

Hm, will the next Caryatid be mythic?

Nobody knows yet. Remember, the Carven Caryatid was always a creature.

At rare, apparently. I do like hexproof though.
