I couldn't find a thread for this sweet card. It seems amazingly undercosted in an enchantment block, and seems like it will be a core piece of that deck if it ever crops up. Enables Constellation.
Also seems awesome in limited to abuse the cantrip enchantments.
A 3/4 flier for 3, but I have to bounce an enchantment every turn? Well, the flyer is definitely value, but the bouncing enchantments means I have to build a deck around him. Hmm... what enchantments are good to bounce?
You've got 12 cantrips, and if you can get out either Riptide Chimera or Eidolon of Blossoms then you have a card draw engine. I think you should be able to survive with only 20 lands because your curve is very low and you have so many cantrips. Still has trouble with supreme verdict, but some of the bestow creatures can help with that, and with all the card draw you should still have some steam.
I want to test him out for fun. I wish there was a red 1 drop enchantment creature. If there ends up not being one Nyx, I might play Riptide Chimera in a U/B deck with Hypnotic Siren and Gnarled Scarhide.
The plan: Riptide bounces to generate heroic triggers on hero and phalanx leader, and d-sphere retargeting shenanigans.
We're still debating early-game details such as eidolon of hope and such, to provide something for the chimera to bounce if we want to drop him turn 3.

While less synergetic, some of the cheaper creatures with bestow can come down early, and then later when they bounce you can bestow them on the chimera.
