With Theros block in full swing, many enchantments have become shared types amongst creatures and artifacts. If enchantments do become a thing in the eternal formats like Modern or even EDH, I was thinking of ways to deal with this potential threat. One card that popped up in my mind was Back to Nature. A two-mana, green enchantment wrath that is easily splashable, potential to hit enchantment creatures/artifacts, and at instant speed to boot seems extremely powerful as a speculation target. Also, Back to Nature only has one printing in Magic 2011 as an uncommon and copies can be picked up for a quarter or less. The only "if" I see for Back to Nature is if enchantments do become a popular archetype as the card is undoubtedly powerful even as sideboard tech. Is there potential for Back to Nature to make a jump here?
It's already amazing vs. .... Boggles. I honestly can't see this card going up much unless a whole format is reduced to Enchantment decks vs. Enchantment Hate decks. I don't think Wizards would let that happen.
I guess in some fringe cases, it could be amazing like killing 2 Spirit of the Labyrinth and then Brainstorming, but these situations are going to be very rare. Does Legacy have a version of Boggles?

I'm pretty sure this card isn't going to go anywhere, it's an uncommon printed in a fairly recent core set, should be many of these around. That and it has pretty narrow applicability so far
That's what I was afraid of. Unless JOU prints some absurd token generator enchantment that coincidentally are enchantment creature tokens and makes waves outside of standard, I feel that this card might be a little too specific to be good.
