Enchantments that hose particular strategies are not uncommon in this game - Blood Moon, for one, hoses a whole host of strategies in Modern, but it's not considered unfun or oppressive. If Triumph of the Meek ever became a T1 deck (and I don't think it could), then a whole host of other cards become amazing sideboard material, like Shrivel, Night of Soul's Betrayal, Pyroclasm, Simoon, Circle of Flame, etc.<br /><br />If you're using this in a control deck just to stall out the game by stopping your opponent from attacking, presumably by the time you hit 1WWW your opponent will have an answer to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647677781801914930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-88567201639535490492014-03-02T22:49:57.749-05:002014-03-02T22:49:57.749-05:00I had to unshoehorn the restriction out of this fo...I had to unshoehorn the restriction out of this for the sake of the more interesting (less confusing card).

IIRC it was unplayable in Standard and a junk rare in Limited. A Gatherer search reveals that less than 31% of all creature cards in the history of Magic have a power of 1 or less ("less than" because the search includes creatures that ETB with counters on them, or have CDA's, and I don't know how to easily filter those out), and if you restrict the search to the current Standard environment, this drops to less than 25%. I don't know what the "right environment" would be for this card, if any, but it would probably involve intentionally seeding the format with lots of win conditions other than dealing 20 damage, maindeckable enchantment hate, and/or a linear aggro deck that relies on 1/x creatures like Tribal Goblins or Elves.<br /><br />I find it amusing that Humility is a hard counter to this card.Jenesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356037137564501914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-74312605635993150992014-03-02T19:16:29.205-05:002014-03-02T19:16:29.205-05:00Yes, removing "or black" to make this a ...Yes, removing "or black" to make this a straight-blue hoser.<br /><br />How about this:<br />"It appears when children are in danger to carry them to a safer place."<br />Still creepy?<br />...Yeah, I see your point.<br /><br />Anyone else have ideas for better flavortext?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393054869276886509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-36385995816882853582014-03-02T17:59:22.847-05:002014-03-02T17:59:22.847-05:00I would completely bump this up to greater than 2....I would completely bump this up to greater than 2.
