How I never made a deck around this beauty before now, I'll never know. It's broken how easily you can abuse this card.
Any creature that would usually give +1 CA still provides neutrality, so most cards with an ETB are already looking good. Creatures with dominating triggers like the eldrazi are just absurd. Emrakul is pretty tough to stop at instant speed, so even though he gets sac'd at end of turn, you're still up FIVE cards.
Then of course, Sundial of the Infinite has made it easier than ever to abuse the card. Simply end the turn with the delayed trigger on the stack, and voila, all your creatures now cost {R}, are virtually uncounterable, and come with free haste.
Personally, amongst other things, I run this along side Rune-Scarred Demon (the 'huge Squadron Hawk'), and Emrakul. So on turn 4-5, depending on accel, it's usually 33 points of flying power and annihilator 6 coming their way, with mana up to Sundial at EoT. Not many decks can recover from that kind of swing, even i... (see all)

Bring out all the creatures that you can in one turn, then follow up with a Twilight Shepherd. You get back all the creatures but the Shepherd, who stays in play because of Persist.
OR you could use your Erratic Portal to pull back your creature to use again next turn. Great to combo with Bogardan Hellkite.

Under M10 rules and the resulting card errata, the Myojins do not get the divinity counter if you use Sneak Attack to put them on the battlefield. They were not cast from your hand.

A friend of mine uses this card in a deck made up of legendary creatures, including the myogins. I don't agree with how he uses it. If he uses the sneak attack ability to put a myogin into play, since it isn't being played from his hand, it will not come in with the divinity counter on it, correct?

Combo with Broodmate Dragon and the aforementioned Erratic Portal. Enjoy getting a 4/4 flying token every turn for 2 CMC. I know your opponent won't.

this card is just awesome with creatures with huge enter the battlefield and/or leave the battlefield effects, or ones that can be put back into your hand/battlefield.
