O.K... not so official, and not so much a preview either...
But it is brought to you by Hydro, on behalf of a most legendary informer, so that part's all good!
Brace yourselves my amigos...
Oblivion Ring 2W Enchantment When Oblivion Ring comes into play, remove target non-land permanent from the game. When Oblivion Ring leaves play, return the removed permanent to play under its owners control. COMMON. So, let the games begin...
And let us thank the rumor gods for their eternal blessings, for they are great, powerful and all things sexy...
My god, the first ever white card that removes a non-land permanent. Too bad I can't think of any card that would have great synergy with this card.
Great Work Hydro, thanks man!!!
Edit: Works with the PW, after using almost all of its counters you can play this to RFG then you can just destroy the Ring at will anythime, yey, too bad this card doesn't have flash, if it does then it is even better.
#1 - What's the dumbest idea you ever had?
#2 - 15/15 for 15?
#1 - Make it dumber
#2 - Give it protection from removal and counter?
#1 - DUMBER!
#2 - Add Timewalk?
#1 - DAMN IT MAN, I SAID DUMB!! DUMB !!!
#2 - It destroys everything when it attacks.... And wait, I have a friend who plays mill decks... I want to beat him too.
#1 - Excellent! Recess is over, go back and learn sex-ed with the other 6th graders.
Wow that's uh, really really good. Like for real, really good.
When I first read it I was like "So what", and then, I read it again....

SLIVER LEGION?!?!?
An open challenge to all salvation posters: Come play me at fnm at Toys From the Attic in Somersworth New Hampshire, the name is Chris Laskey and if you dare face the kithkin/red deck wins onslaught.
Like I'm sitting at my computer right now practically stunned at how good this card is in limited (and partially in constructed).
It's a definate first pick that deals with ANYTHING. Like literally anything. And unless Lorwyn has some sort of Daru Sanctifier type enchantment hate theme.... wow what a card.

Oh, you're right. If that thing is the only legal target, you have to choose it. Hmm, that's curious...
btw, that's the card Maro was talking about, the one that deals with every nonland-permanent.
And I like it! That's at least limited playable. If your opp doesn't have enchantment destruction, it's a sorcery speed Vindicate that can`t hit lands. At common!
Vindicate was a sorcery sir But yes I see your point.

This will rock the house with Auratog in standard. Stack the triggers right and that permanent's never coming back baby!

Very good common. It will be a real pain in limited. In constructed it's white sorcery speed removal, again, not bad. I wonder how this variation of the "Nightmare" ability from Torment ended on a white card, but I guess it's ok with all their remove from game stuff. Nice one master Hydro.

Honestly, nothing too new. It has a similarity to Fetters: It shuts down a permanent while the enchantment's in play.
There are some differences: Cheaper, no life gain, can't be removed by bouncing the permanent, can't shut down non-basics, denies them a sacrifice and more importantly.. it shuts down static abilities, not just activated ones.
There are a few more difference I didn't list, but for many things, it works much like Fetters without the lifegain, except cheaper and harder to remove.
It's no stp... sorcery speed & costs 2 more. But it's still very versatile. Compared to fetters it wins in the cost department, and in that it stops triggered & static abilities. But it loses in the four life department and in the fact it doesn't stop Urza's Factory. Still, a high pick for limited & will probably see some constructed play as versatile white removal. A white answer to Gaddock Teeg.
And always fun to do it to a planeswalker or legend, then bounce it when they play their other copy :evil:.
I love this card. It's simply ability to wipe out every permanent your opponent has if you can stack the triggers correctly. Vedalken Mastermind and Tolarian Sentinel are gonna have a field day with this, as they do with Reality Acid.
Auratog is also a brutal way of abusing this. Man, im in love. Limited is gonna be a lot of fun this way.
hmm, it's functionally arrest for a nonland permanent(ie. a planeswalker)
seems like white is gonna be the way to go in draft unless the other colors can somehow compete with both this and goldmeddow harrier at common.
Gorgeous. I, for one, welcome our new limited overlord. And I love the potential for abuse with the Mastermind and Auratog.
I do believe this is constructed worthy. It won't be making a huge change in the meta, but it will show up and see play I'm sure.

Well, that's nice. Possible planeswalker removal, seems green and maybe black will be the only colors dealing a hard time against them.
Remove a combo piece, a iritating permanent or just something you really hate for three mana at comon. I do like it.

hey i have managed to evolve my axolotls by feeding them thyroid glands the thyroxine contained in these gland is enough to change these water dwelling creatures into land based creatures

Tay, that's not evolution. It's metamorphosis. Evolution means descent with heritable modification – individuals cannot evolve, unless they're Pokemon.

White enchantment version of an uber-Faceless Butcher at common?!
Okay. I can deal with that, actually.
So, I guess this deals with Planeswalkers like that *snaps fingers*

I sure want to try this in a Vedalken Mastermind deck with CiP insanity, no less
Never thought of that, time to get a playset of Vedalken Mastermind for this card, :D... Plus a couple of Vensers and a few other CIP cards
EDIT: you can also surprise your opponent by Boomerang your own Oblivion Ring.
Record: 3-2
Simpsons Mafia (Newbie) - Vanilla Mafia - Win
The Fiasco Corporation - Town Reporter - Loss
Doomsday Mafia - Mafia Roleblocker - Win
Battle Royale Mafia - Serial Daykiller - Loss
Danger City Mafia - Vanilla Town - Win
Faceless butcher, but for any permanent with an enchantment body and a mana less.

As for the card itself, it's the new Oubliette! It just asks for 187 abuse.

I like this card. It's like an interactive Pacifism.
