I'm not sure how good this really is in limited, a lot of the enchantments rely on their instant speed to be useful, and showing your opponent that you have them in hand hurts a lot. On the other hand, if you manage to open three mark of the oni and several demons on prerelease day...well...I'll see you at the top tables :biggrin3:
Well a 1/3 for two isn't the greatest thing in the world, but it is a spirit that can get you your pacifisms and serpent skin etc. It a shame you can search for the enchant land cards. That would have been quite nice.
dissapointing. I was in some crazy, inane part of my mind hoping they would preview a good card. BTW, are they beating us over the head with the enchantment stuff or what?
hmmmmmmmm i got excited when it said blinking spirits new best friend. its an alright card. too bad it needs its own deck, instead of being able to fit into an existing deck. pretty awesome ability for its cost though. compare it to the super bad suckiness of horizon seed, and this card actually looks pretty darn good.
I think it would be most useful with defensive enchantments like Pacifism or Cage of Hands... It's a nice pick in a draft if you're tight on creatures and have a Cage or two already. It's good in the casual Spirit deck; fetching a Cage or Pacifism once or twice every turn could turn the game around.
Honestly, this is the type of card I like previewed. Higure, Fumiko, and Toshiro are certainly good, but they're rare and they don't really whey my appetite since I mostly look at the commons and uncommons as I'm a constructed casual and draft player mostly.

thats a nice card, in block/limited u should be playing a lot of spirit arcane spells, and there are a few good creature enchantments (maybe there are more in BoK?), so i like this card.. 1/3 for 1W isnt bad either...
Well its nice to see white getting more spirit guys, hopefully we'll actually start seeing some good enchant creatures in Betrayers to go with this guy (or the Mystic for that matter)
HA ! I CALLED IT!
I've had a GW enchantment deck for a few weeks now and I CALLED THAT BOK WOULD HAVE LOTS ON ENCHANTMENTS!
AHHAHA
*does several elaborate dances*
Anyways, this one isn't the best, but i'm sure there will be more
It has potential, in Block at least. Even just by running a few good (or, at least, decent) creature enchantments in a B/W Spiritcraft deck lets you thin the deck and give your early creatures a bit more of a bite. It's way too slow for T2, but that's to be expected

Some wonder why I carry 8 decks on me. The answer? I get tired of being boarded against in casual games, and 90% of the players I meet can't beat a jank deck I made to be tokens for a serious one.
In my books any creature that fits into the same deck as Armadillo Cloak, and can find it, is fine by me. In all honestly I just liked the name of the article.
Edit: of course the set will be heavy on Enchantments, why else print Aura Barbs?

Another good option for it is Empyrial Armor... using splice onto arcane and wutnot creating lots of card advantage and finding plates and wutnots... and there's always Bequeathal.

i'd like it much more if it could grab ANY enchantments, like Shrines for example, but can't complain about a 1/3 for 2 that has a fetch ability that can be used often. lots of cheap creatures in this set for sure!

True if it could fetch any enchantments... *dreams of what it could mean for his shrine deck*... I'd want at least 4 of these
Lots of fun for casual, i'm already thinking of making a u/w extended legal spirit deck using this together with other spirits like windborne muse and tradewind riders and lots of cool creature enchantments like cessation and my personal favorite treachery.
That said, in limited its average a 1/3 is okay but not fantastic for stalling, it will only definitely make the cut if you've got some cage of hands and enough spirits/arcanes to make it run. And in constructed i really can't see any viable deck using it.
a white creature that i can use to get my "cage of hands" into my hand? oh, i'm all over that... for me the card doesn't have to be the best card ever, it just has to do something cool. for me the cards that i dislike are the vanilla creature that don't really do anything. it's one of the reasons that i'm digging the Kamigawa block so much. the spirit / arcane triggers are just too much fun and it makes for great combo potential... this card has a cool effect and cooler flavor... i'm sold.

Not really crazy abaout this card... I guess it's a fun card for casual players like me... but I like to play with the weird cards or the cards that seem to have a cool ability... Like Umezawa... I guess it's cool and may be really good in limited if there are some great enchant creatures.

Personally, I like MaGo's idea of using it with Rabid Wombat... but white doesn't really fit in very well in an enchantress deck.
