Beautiful artwork, terrific card. Should be in virtually any deck, especially in Standard Format.
The only thing that keeps it from being unbalanced is that the Cloak itself can be targeted... Beware of opponents with instants that destroy like Disenchant or Shatter, as they may wait for you to attack and then kill your guy once he is exposed.
Some obvious combos have already been mentioned, but virtually any creature effect on damage is a sure-fire win. Heavy duty guys can kill quickly, Hypnotic Specter can discard at will... life is good. Sharding Sphinx is another great one.
4.5/5

This card can be EXTREMELY powerful, and is often under-appreciated until someone gets owned by it

There are plenty of fun things to do with this. Yes, Phage is one of the obvious choices, but Ashling, the Extenguisher is my favorite (simply because she was in the first Booster I bought). With Ashling, they can't target her, and she slips by, dealing 4 damage and forcing them to sacrifice a creature that you choose. Also great with Charnelhaord Wurm, the Coalition dragons, Nicol Bolas, and anything else that does something upon hit (Celestial Mantle, or Quietous Spike).

Equip can only be done as a sorcery, meaning it can only enter the stack on the bottom. If you're looking for Instant speed shroud, look into Neurok Stealthsuit.

Glad to see the cloak make it back in the core set. I have always found it to be quite useful and powerful in certain situations. Also, the new art for the card looks great!

Looove this card. Shroud is awesome. Unblockable is awesome. Giving Kor Duelist these two abilities plus enabling his Double Strike is awesome. Putting Armored Ascension on him beforehand and having him hit twice with at least 5 power is awesome.
Awesome! ^_^

Can someone respond to the equiping of this card to destroy the creature being equiped by the rules of the stack by an instant that destroyes target creature? Can the creature equiped by this card be detroyed by a spell that does not target on single creature? If so this card seems to be useless against a creature hate deck.
