I absolutely LOVE this card.
Turn 1: Nip Gwillion
Turn 2: Two Edge of Divinity, swing for 7 lifelink lol.
I've actually had people scoop as soon as I do this. Sure it can be chump blocked all day, but I gain 7 life every time it swings. Really hard to fight back against that. There aren't too many legacy decks in my playgroup that can compete with that. Although my green stompy deck can get an 8/8 or better Primalcrux out by turn 4. Yes, there are a million ways to counter it, and a million ways to kill it, but remember - you have to actually DRAW those cards before they become effective :-)

Why does everyone say Turn 2?!
Turn 1: Swamp > Dark Ritual > This Card > x2 Edge of Divinity's
Seriously, that's a TURN 1 7/7 Lifelink creature with the right hand!

Great for a combo, not so great by itself. Not bad, but not great... Nice color weight... But again, limited uses... That, and I don't like lifelink for some reason (Just doesn't appeal to me for some reason)
So:
Base rating: **
Color weight: +*
liflink: + */2

imo for those who were playing this with dark ritual (and two edge) on turn 1, i think it's dumb because even if you do that kind of play, you will still eventually attack on turn two which is still similar to a first turn nip then second turn x2 edge.
playing the enchantment very early will only make your creature a nice target to your opponents bounce or removal spells and wasting a card or two of yours in the process.
