Forget Eldrazi, this is perfect for protecting your Sliver Overlord or Sliver Queen.

@kalinack:
Yes, that works. Players get priority after a spell or ability resolves, so after Kiln Fiend's triggered abilities resolve (but before Doom Blade resolves) you will get a window of opportunity to cast Not of this World for free.

This card would have obviously not been overpowered at a regular cost of 4 or 5 mana, and I can guarantee you a card like this would never cost 7 mana under normal conditions, but the creative team made a requirement that all colourless Eldrazi cards had a minimum mana cost of 7. Not that it matters much, since you should almost never hardcast it, but an interesting fact nonetheless.

This card is fantastic late in the game, while Vines of Vastwood is nice for protecting small but important creatures early on this lets you use all of your mana to drop your game enders. Most players wont expect you to be able to counter removal AFTER you're tapped out.

Well, that depends. At first I thought you meant regular combat damage. But then I realized you could be talking about something that is throwing damage as an ability (Like Cunning Sparkmage with Basilisk Collar). If that was the case, then yes. He could be targeting the ability throwing the damage, not the deathtouch itself.
But maybeyou meant what I orginally though (Say Glissa, the Traitor blocking a Sun Titan.) Then absolutely NO, there is no way that this could stop deathtouch for the same reason that Shroud/Hexproof doesn't stop it. Deathtouch does NOT target. One of the conditions this thing hinges on is that the permanent is being targeted by the ability (or spell) that you want to stop. The word 'target' is no where to be seen on deathtouch. This much I am 100% sure.
Honestly, I don't think you can even stifle deathtouch anymore (it use t... (see all)

this card is made for Phyrexian Dreadnought
EDIT: Doesn't work; no targeting involved. Shame...

@Jackisback510:
Enchantments only target when they are cast. You would have to cast this spell in response to the enchantment in order for that to work. Also, as a side note, I don't think you could cast this in response to Prison Term's reattach clause, because it doesn't target.

Has a very narrow role, but Jesus Christ does it fill that role well. 5/5

Reanimate Griselbrand or anything else huge and this card becomes pure gold. Definitely at least 4/5 for that.
