I wonder if this means they'll colour-shift one of the Enchantresses... They'd fit into white's slice of pie, and they've even hinted at it with stuff like Celestial Ancient.
Dang I was just looking up some of the cards that this can be used for and you beat me to it. Fists of Ironwood and Mouldervine Cloak are the two more then likely to be used with it.

Remember, the word "enchantress" appears in the orb, and if we are able to get another quality enchantress and some better auras, then this card could have some use...but wouldn't that make it a win-more card, anyway?
Since no one has mentioned Auratog yet. There could become a very casual deck where you make the 'tog big, and then return everything. Sac everything again leaving it with some enchantment giving it evasion and swing for the win. That is about the only use I see for it as of right now.
As for the legend art. Blue Braids looks pretty cool.
well I think it will see play, given there is enslave, and confiscate in the format. Think it will be good in a control deck, with lots of good discard outlets like compulsive research and likes. Just some food for thought.
Do the aura's brought into play by this trigger card draws off a Verduran? I can never remember the rules on that

It's an interesting little idea for a card considering it makes the player think what to do with it but after a search I just did I found it's not much. If there's something other than Galvanic Arc that can deal damage like the Arc tho I'd start fearing. But until then you may set the alert level at "Green." (aka this isn't good at all...)
Actually, r_e, I was going to ask what card Millar was referring to when he said, "My preview card hasn't done anything indecent to the colour pie. What it does is in the colour it's always been in. You might've seen its granddad somewhere before, like on various banned and restricted lists."
Currently banned in Legacy. Banned in pre-rotation Extended. If memory serves, also banned in Standard in its day. Replenish.dec was pretty sick.
As to Retether, I think it does what it needs to do. It's a nice reference to a fairly well-known overpowered card, but without breaking anything. It has potential in Extended.

Actually, in a second thought, Auratog deck might be Standard competitive. Or at very least a danm funny casual standard deck. Sacrificing everything to pump the tog, bringing then back in the same turn and striking seens to be nice. Even more with CIP (or leave play) triggers and maybe Confiscate-like auras. Needs some blue support, tho.
For the second day in a row, they preview useless Johnny-bait.
Sigh.
Spike-bait doesn't sell boxes. You don't have to sell Spikes on new cards. They'll find out what's good and get what they need. If they're the kind of Spikes that preorder boxes, then they're going to buy the boxes regardless. If they're like most Spikes however, they'll get the cards they need as singles, which Wizards doesn't give a crap about. Casual players (Timmys and Johnnys) and collectors (Vorthoses) buy more packs overall.
Two of those pictures look like old cards.. can't place my finger on it. Also the puzzle was just neo-Braids agian.
I never read the Weatherlight Saga but what does Braids have to do with them? And what about the other big Cat Jedit?
All the pictures are the alternate timeline legends. Jedit, Mirri, Braids and Crovax. Braids and Jedit had nothing really to do with the Weatherlight Saga.
It revolves around the abusing of dredge (cloak) and the retethering all your auras, that fall into your graveyard, (fist of ironwood, Flickerform, beastmasters magemark) onto Bramble Elemental. privileged position as cover from your opponents target spells and maybe glare to control [him/her].

Only use out of this card I could see is to loot through your deck(with courier/looter/bazaar/careful consid), and then play raging goblin(or the new green hasty creature), followed by Retether... but it's easily disruptable and it doesnt win the game outright in very many situations. It would be cool to confiscate all your opponents creatures though...

I, for one, like the card, and look forward to building decks with it. Recycle several auras along with Infiltrator's Magemark, and you suddenly have an army of potent and (mostly) unblockable creatures.
(For those making lists of Standard playables, I'd add Blanchwood Armor to the list.)
As a judge, I am VERY thankful for the reminder text about what happens when an Aura trying to come out of the graveyard doesn't have a legal target. That eliminates quite a bit of confusion that Replenish caused.
I think the reference to Glare of Subdual was meant to be tied to the idea of bringing back multiple auras and sticking them on Bramble Elemental. At least, that's how I read it.

Aren't all the player types secondary market single-holics these days? Johnny's obscure combo cards are probably some of the cheapest singles of all. And Timmy's rares aren't usually the mega playable pricey type.
My thought on this? There HAS to be some cards that appeal to all players in the set. Why can't they show those? or is PC lacking those sorts of cards?

Those cards are the nuts and bolts, these cards they are showing are the fringes, the Wow (damnation) and the wierd.
If anyone knows why G0-DRAW was banned I would love it if they would PM me. That guy was pure entertainment 100% of the time. Plus he never publicly responded to his Contraptions "Proof" that never panned out.

Ya for the most part its that, but you really need a second win condition for casual decks. Giant Soulifuge or new green ball would work as suppliment creatures.

Tis a fun card.
You can make a combo with Bramble Elemental for fun. Glare of Subdual and Privileged Position are technically still around.

Auratog likes this.
Needs more but with the right cards it might be semi competetive
See? Thinking outside the bun, er, box.
We don't know there won't be Auras aplenty in PB&J, and we don't have to have this card strictly for Standard.
Night, all.

possible pairing with confiscate........
Dang.
As for the legend art. Blue Braids looks pretty cool.

No, Verduran Enchantress triggers when you play an enchantment, not when one comes into play.
...but they're not Auras.

I know most of you got what I ment but let me spell it out. You use it a deck with those two as a casual form of "Glare Control".

Dude, it's Chris Millar's article, that's the audience he writes for!
Johnnies are people too.
The card's ok in that regard. I might try a couple of the decks in the article.
