now that white can virtually run 8 o-rings in a deck, I think the game could really benefit from some enchantment removal outside of green and white. Don't ask me how I reconcile this with the color wheel, I just want some blue ammo against white's rising dominance as the control color.

This won me a game I just played on MTGO when I used it on Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.

I love how Wizard's way of fixing the slight underpowered presence of white was to keep printing overpowered white cards and shafting blue in the process. This card further makes a strong case that white is getting a little too ahead of the other colors, what with the insane soldiers in M10 and the crazy amount of good stuff in Zendikar.

It's like Oblivion Ring, but restricted to creatures, therefore it costs less.
I like that card. And especially the artwork. Reminds me of AWOL! Coincidence? :D

It's better than pacifism, at least. Still, killing planeswalkers is what ORing is for.

I don't know why people are complaining about the power level of this card...
PROS/CONS:
-This is strong against Black and Red. They have trouble dealing with enchantments.
-This is weak against Green, White and Blue. They all have removal of some kind.
-Removing creatures with 'Entering/Leaving the Battlefield' abilities are risky... (I wouldn't want to cast this on a titan in fear of it being disenchanted)
-Unlike Pacifism, if this is disenchanted by your opponent on their turn, their creature comes back with summoning sickness and can't attack.
-This prevents creatures from activating abilities.
If you are getting beat by this card, then you are not protecting your creatures enough. This card is just a little bit better than a pacifism. If you can't protect your threats/bombs/win conditions from removal and you have no way of destroying this enchantment, then frankly, you deserve to get your ass kicked.

What a bull$hit Oracle ruling, allowing this card to contradict its own words. *rolleyes*

Tell me this, Isn't this card a spell when it comes on to the stack? If it is then it wouldn't effect Emrakul, the Aeons Torn till it became a permant, then it would cancel out because he is protected by colored spells meaning everything that is cast not just instants/soceries?
