So, is there a way to break the Ghostform? It resets walkers, so it certainly gives some Saheeli Cat vibes...
Not currently as far as I know. You would need a walker that you can get to 0 on their own, as well as return the aura to play. I can't see a design doing that.
That ghostform seems really good. I totally get the issue with auras, and at a glance it has the same problem that similar cards have had in the past that you are playing two cards to the board without advancing your strategy, but the fact that it protects against exile and also that it can be used to protect permanents that generally have more utility on board make me want to at least test it out.
Story implication, apparently the Eternals can just take people's Sparks. Not sure how I feel about this, seems pretty weak story telling if a bunch of zombies can run around plunging their hands into chests to harvest Sparks.

I don’t think it’s the eternals doing it. I think they’re just killing people. Then the Elder Spell (the big swirly gate thing behind Bolas in the trailer that was talked about during the panel) is stealing the sparks as they die.

In the video, the Eternal harvested the spark and then died as it sent the spark off to the Elder Spell, right?
I don't have the video in front of me at the moment, but that's how I recall it happening.
Ghostform doesn't do anything new with Sun Titan that the past 3-cost auras of this ilk didn't already do.
However, it *DOES* play really nicely with the much-cheaper Renegade Rallier.
Christmasland time.
T1 Land Birds of Paradise
T2 Land Viscera Seer / Altar of the Brood / Kaya's Ghostform (on the birds)
T3 tap Birds for mana, sacrifice to Seer (birds comes back, Ghostform to grave), cast Rallier, return Ghostform grave to battlefield attached to it, sac Rallier repeatedly retrieving Ghostform to it, and mill out opponent.
(Goblin Bombardment makes this all easier if we're considering non modern)
Well her walker looks bad but Ghostform? Have we seen anything like that before that is some interesting protection.
It reminds me of persist and undying.

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!
Kaya: omg girl removing hexproof from everything including players is incredible
Kaya's Ghostform OMG THEY FINALLY DID IT EXILE PROTECTION!! this is beyond so broken with Muldrotha, the Gravetide you can just keep you commander in play for eons with this and imagen give this flash someho... oh wait we do have a source of doing this the brand new Emergence Zone

Ghostform will be a Pauper staple. I could also see it in an Esper style control deck for Standard. Protection for your Teferi. May even find its way into Modern. Really cool little common imo.
Also, I’ve been very out of the loop lately,
but is this the first time we’ve seen the word “dies” used with anything other than a creature?
It seems like a shortcut that would help at times.

All of this. I'm just pumped that the redeemed her a bit from the last iteration.

On phasing:
You mean besides protecting it from path to exile and other exile effects? Being only 1 mana also doesn't hurt.

To be fair, those can ‘steal’ your opponent’s creatures.
I mean this still is imho a better card in many ways. But not in all ways.
