I was wondering if they were going to make any cards in set that count the number of enchantments you control. I was not expecting auras but I can definitely live with this.
I love bestow so much - that moment when you are overcome with something - anger, love, jealousy, bravery - it was such an important part of Greek culture and myth. Bestow creatures represent that pathos as having agency - it just all comes alive for me as the spirit of some ancient general rides the body of a new, and gives him - what is this eidalon? - I would tend to say it evokes glory.

Because you can never have enough Ethereal Armor in your deck.

So, played a few games with this and Brimaz, King of Oreskos today and this card gets hilariously large really frequently. Between things like Ethereal Armor, Vanguard of Brimaz and things like Precinct Captain this guy hits double digits in remarkable time. Top it off with sweet art and its a home-run for me.

4.5/5 stars
I was considering making a mono white enchantment deck with Ajani's Chosen, Pacifism, Ethereal Armor, and lots of more support and this may very well be the card I was waiting for to convince me of it being viable. I imagine with the right set up this card can get scary quick.

Seems pretty nuts. Like another playset of Ethereal Armor in my Aura deck.
I like and also hate how it's taken an absolute bomb like this for people to realize that Ethereal Armor, Sphere of Safety, Ajani's Chosen, etc. can make a good deck.

Alone on the field, it's a 1/1. With an Ethereal Armor it's a 4/4. With two it's a 9/9. If it's bestowing something with two Ethereals, that creature gets +10/+10. If the creature you're enchanting is a Kor Spiritdancer, they probably lose. Throw another one in there, or a Auramancer's Guise, or any number of other things and it's just silly.
The best bestow creature printed so far, and in general one the most awesome card design/art combos in the set by a huge margin. Love it, give me 8.

This is silly with Elderwood Scion.
If you're playing Elderwood Scion, it's an enchantment deck, which means you're going to get really big creatures for really cheap.
4/5

Nice precursor to Ajani's Choosen and then bunch of chantment shenanigans.
