@Tori: going from uncommon to mythic rare isnt raising standards, its lowering chances of getting it.
my favorite card is common, Goblin Gaveleer

Looks like Wizards are finally making enchantments good. The previous method put all your eggs in one very fragile basket, which was susceptible to well placed kill spells - this seems to be an attempt to fix that. And WHAT A FIX if I do say so myself.

So much for rarity not determining power. Serra's Embrace. From a set everyone already considers overpowered.

This is probably obvious considering the quality of the artwork on this card, but you really should take a minute or two to ogle the foil version of this if you ever get to see it. It's absolutely immaculate. It makes the card feel like it really is Angelic.
Oh yeah, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to end the comment without mentioning how powerful this is. It's pretty great (to say the least).

In a standard build I like swinging with Vault Skirge with this on turn 3. Pulled a foil the other day....I love this card.

Turning any 1/1 into a 5/5 flyer with first strike on turn 4 does sound appealing, and if that 1/1 happens to be a nip gwyllion or a serra ascendant, you've got yourself a virtual baneslayer angel, with pseudo-haste because the creature's been under your control for a turn already.
This card makes virtually any creature into a powerful combatant, and for some creatures it turns them into absolute monsters. I do like seeing a hearthfire hobgoblin or mirran crusader swing for 12 damage in the air on turn four, or 14 if honor of the pure dropped on turn 2.
Though, in a lot of ways, I feel that I prefer using Elspeth, Knight-errant's ability to give +3/+3 and flying over this card (and they both have the same mana cost), since there's less of a chance to lose card advantage, she has other options, and you can switch the bonus to another crea... (see all)

Is this a Yugio card? I kind of feel that way for some reasons.

Bounce, & Exile still 2 for 1 this card, and those are commonly found in spike's arsenal. If this wants to be competitive, it needs "When enchanted creature leaves play". That is a great way to balance Rancor. Its still hard to deal with, but at least it does not hose Naturalize.
In the future, all auras should be given "When enchanted creature leaves play", or else they will sit in the trash pile.
