Well it's a 1/1 but once you get it flipped it's an enchantment and if you have the labratory in play they're locked from playing spells. Unless I'm mising something.

"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."
Attempting to determine how to abuse this creature turned into enchantment....
To even attempt to play four spells a turn, it has to be 1 or 0 mana spells, and at best, could be done by turns 2-4.
Let's see....Turn 1, Island, Mox, Soratami Erayo....cards in hand: 3 or 4
Next....Turn 2 Draw (cards in hand, 4 or 5), Welding Jar, Reach Through Mists, Teardrop Kami, something else for 1 or 0 mana...Wandering Ones? Finally, flip to Enchantment...
Wow...your right...it isn't that good of a card after all...
I think the best place for Erayo would be in one of the horrible unspeakable decks. think about it.
1st turn, island.
2nd turn, island, Erayo.
3rd turn, island, long forgotten gohei.
4th turn, island, pass during your opponents turn after they cast a spell cast reach through depths, peer through mists and sift through sands summoning the unspeakable and flipping Erayo into Essence.
That's the only use i can see in block. In standard you can combine it with the remains of affinity and use free spells like ornithopter/welding jar etc. to flip him. Going 2nd turn erayo then ornithopter, welding jar, paridise mantle and chrome mox to flip him and lock your opponent out of the game isn't bad.
The deck for erayo needs to be custom made or already involve casting multiple cheap spells in a turn. If aluren wasn't rotating out of extended i'd recommend this in aluren because it not only flips easily but can be used to stop opponents hurting your combo(the same goes for desire etc.)
The major problem the deck faces is that you have to have Erayo in hand on turn one or two or else the deck has few chances to do anything else but play cheap cantrips.
Well...yes!
Trying to have as many 1 mana drops as possible...I guess there would be room for Sorotami Savant as well and/or Kira, Great Glass Spinner. Just have to have most spots consumed by 1 mana spells...of course.
Just play it like draw-go and have lots of cheap instants. Like.... twiddle or something. Also, if you counter one of their spells it's already 2 right there. I think this would be easiest to flip on the opponent's turn. Actually, it might even be best just to stick it in a blue deck to force the opponent to play few cards during their turn. The threat of it flipping may be as good as the actual flip ability when you think about it. It still probably doesn't justify having a 2 mana 1/1, but it might be a more realistic goal than trying to build a deck around flipping him.
Is it just me or is this guy teamed up with arcane laboratory an unbreakable lock ?? If your opponent only plays one spell each turn and this spell is always countered, how will he ever break this ??
Here's a question: can you fetch this guy with enchantment tutors, like the new Enduring Ideal?
Edit: perhaps that sounded a little off --- can you fetch the enchantment part of this guy with the new white epic?
I'm going to elaborate on the No you got from your question. A flipper has the same type throughout the game in your graveyard, deck, hand, and play, until it meets the actual requirements for flipping while hes in play. otherwise he will always be a creature 1/1 for 1U.

In a 1996 survey of musicians (on-line and in-person at Berklee College of Music in Boston) we asked this question:"Please describe the feeling you get (good or bad) from playing or listening to very loud music." Below are all the responses... 19/ M : Very good. Comments: I AM NOT DEAF! 44/M: Too vague a question. Loud "good" music would make me feel pumped. Loud "bad" music irritates me. Comments: This material and these questions made me give the "hearing thing" a bit of thought.
After all, he is just a little craven 1/1. Not to mention the inclement standard, even in the block he and his essence must stand stably to face kami of ancient law(W), consuming vortext(U), night of soul's betrayal(B), frostling(R), wear away(G) ,somebody's jitte(A) and many,many,other cards.
You may say that's worth a gamble, although i would protest that it's just a card designed for some oddly fundeck .
hmz, i'm thinking about adding this guy to Epic deck of enchantments. you flip him (it doesn't matter how, the main idea is to play U/W so you just have to counter two of the oponents spells ;>), then you cast White Epic and put Rule of Law into play, after that you have a nice lock :>
"Counter two of the opponent's spells" sounds hard to me. The best situation I can imagine is your opponent cast a land-search spell, play something which got countered, and you reach-mist at eot. Still not easy and requires for a perfect hand, though, but it's the most ideal state in a "natural" deck against a "natural" opponent IMO.
well it seems like in a three color (GWU) deck you could use mana acceleration, and lots of cantrips to get your 4 spells in one turn. once you get the guy flipped, you can play enduring ideals getting a ghostly prison or two if you need it, but other than that, go straight for the rule of law to lock them out of the game, and then get a red or green honden to win with, most likely green since you already need the manafixing. That leaves you and your opponent locked out of spells for the entire game, but you have a new token every turn, and incase your opponent has threats out, get a white honden, seeing as how you get an enchantment every upkeep.
the deck could then be something like this (keep in mind its 5:22 am here)
4 erayo (DUH!)
3 enduring ideals
4 sakura tribe-elder
4 kodama's reach
4 reach through mists
4 serum visions
3 wrath
1 rule of law
1 green honden
2 white honden
1 red honden
1 black honden
2 ghostly prison
4 conjurer's bauble
4 tendo ice bridge
9 forest
6 islands
3 plains
thats a pretty rough draft, but it has 12 cantrips at one mana, 8 cheap fixers, and just enough stall to hopefully let you get the "combo" off. the good thing is that the deck can win without erayo, since it can get a win just off of enduring ideal with all of the hondens.

Still unconfirmed, but this could be real IMO.

Now that's just evil.
This might belong in NCD not sure though.
two more words: power/toughness. Seriously, KkAaZz what are they?
EDIT: And it has the creature type MONK too.
WotC doesn't totally hate blue after all!!! Looks like MUC won't die after Standard rotates.

Edit: Still no.

You're planning on playing 4 spells in a turn?
This card is far from good.

* Edit: well, not that hard. someone has remind me of Storms.

A serious question..
How to win? Bite them down by teardrops? :biggrin3:

If your opponent plays 2 cards in one turn, and you two 2 instants it should resolve.
That's pretty damn nice, considering you can see that happen quite early.

Eww...that would be nasty if NeoAffinity got it's hands on this creature and used it effectively...
