Very annoying but only useful against certain decks, perfect choice for sideboard.

um, HELLO? why is this not rated a 4.1-4.3 I don't even...
This card is SO useful!
+Counters decks that utilize buff like green and sometimes white
+Practically FORCES your opponent to blow a removal/counter, which is HUGE! i mean, this effectively keeps your Knight of the Reliquary (which easily would have died to a Doom blade or a Swords to plowshares) in play for typically a good turn, or two, or three - At which point you should have been able to dish out a good 15-18 damage or so, depending on the amount of fetch lands you run.
...
If you are interested in investing time in more of these kinds of mechanics, look for SpellSkite, which is slightly more versatile, but also has a higher sustain cost

This isn't legal in Standard.

Eats targeted removal in EDH. It's a Spellskite that takes anything and everything you throw at it to save your general, win con, or even semi-useful utility creature.

Xenograft your creatures to Flagbearers.
Give this one shroud/hexproof.

Randomed onto this card. Wouldn't mind a reprint, or functional reprint. Flavorwise it would fit with the Boros I suppose

This is your big creature deck insurance policy.
Once you put it on the battlefield, the entire game changes for your opponents and they know it.
5/5

I run this with Crimson Acolytes and Obsidian Acolytes so they cant be removed. just keep tapping plains to give them protection after the spells are cast. Seeing as most removal is black or red, its pretty solid.

Strictly hotter than Spellskite?

Fun with Amoeboid Changeling x2. You can simply strip her of her Flagbearer status and bestow it upon an opposing creature, forcing them to target that if they want to play anything!
As an additional bonus, unlike Spellskite she soaks up abilities too, and prevents your opponent from using any buff spells! Apparently she's a target for the enemy's buffs too.
Finally, self-bounce options like Whitemane Lion are effective since she has a low cost to re-cast. Deadeye Navigator is sure to annoy the hell out of everyone, too.
