It ain't ever going to have the legacy an enchantment like Rancor does, but it's still extremely good. It makes early game aggro creatures that much scarier, and late game often makes your opponent have to choose something to sack. It's especially amazing that it's at common.

This thing is an absolute nightmare in limited. With the sheer number of unblockable/flying creatures in the block, taking a minimum of 4 every turn hurt.
The worst thing ever for me was being on the receiving end of an Armored Transport who apparently had some Mad Skills because I kept eating 5 to the face, not to mention the guy was running several bloodrush cards.

Gets a 5 just for how obscenely good it is in limited. You wouldn't think it. Play it before you rate it.

This card is amazing in limited if you catch your opponent off guard Turns an otherwise vanilla creature into a threat, and Truefire Paladin into a killing machine..

I opened a pretty weak simic prerelease, but got 3 of these, and 3 Disciple of the Old Ways, so I splashed red, and won each game I actually saw them. Strong in limited. Definitely will put a crosshair on whatever it enchants, in any format

Ridiculous.
You know how your Rakdos Cackler is just sitting there turn 4, as a worthless card because it can't even chump block at this point? Madcap Skills. 5/2 can only be blocked by 2 or more creatures. Hey, it was pretty useless anyways, so why not 2 for 1?
4.5/5 absolutely amazing at common.

The way I see it, that's a pretty substantial power boost--you're opponent will want to block it. But they'll need to use two creatures, so you'll probably get a two for one, or at least trade way up. Not a high pick, but a solid card.

Turn two drop this on your rakdos cackler and hit for five... Wow that sounds pretty nice. Then you have a 5/2 people aren't gonna wanna double block or aren't going to be able to double block soon enough. It's not rancor but it's still pretty nice.

I lost each time my opponent played this at the prerelease. A godly common. Combining +3/+0 with must be blocked by two or more creatures means that it's almost certain to either trade two for two, or beat your face extremely hard extremely fast. I almost wonder if it's too good to be a common, what with Alpha Authority being uncommon...

Reads "You win limited."
It's interesting that it's a 1-for-2 aura, but it's not interesting in that it has an inappropriate cost.
