I have a Question...
For example: if a 2/1 creature attacks....equipped with unholy strength enchant.(gives +2/+1)
when i cast diminish...does the creatures entire attack power of 4/2 diminish to 1/1....or only the creatures attack power of 2/1 turn to 1/1 +the 2/1 enchant for a total of a 3/2?
Thanks.

I think this is a pretty good card, especially in a full blue deck. Your opponent thinks they are attacking with a 6/6, but now its a 1/1. Sucker! Oh, and the kitteh is cute.

If I Diminish my opponents' Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and tap Vedalken Shackles to steal it, I would not have to give it back, even after it becomes 12/12 again, since Shackles doesn't check each turn, right?

It's disappointing that it doesn't stop abilities. Your opponents' flying dragons and sphinxes and demons will still get through, albeit for one damage. Next turn they get back to their original size, and if you were screwed before, you're still screwed. It's extremely handy and I will play it, but its uses are more narrow than something like Ovinize.

@Rumblin - "The creature's power and the number of Islands you control matter only when the ability is activated and resolved. After that, only the fact that Vedalken Shackles remains tapped matters. You maintain control even if it stops being a creature. " So yes, that scenario will work.

This is about as close as you'll get to pure blue removal (Pongify doesn't count).
It even hits black creatures! This is an honest 5/5 card.

The kitty on this card makes it that much more awesome. Who want's a weird snake coming out of a glowing blue robe when you can have a KITTY??

FYI, the +1/+1 counters would still apply so it would probably still be a 7/7

What a lot of people forget is it makes the creature a 1/1 - any spells or equipment on it still count towards raising its total higher. Though I did laugh when someone played this on my wall and the wall ended killing their creature because of it (0/4 to 1/1)
