Quite possibly one of my most favorite Auras ever. Next to Spirit Loop.

This is REALLY SCARY for 2 mana. They HAVE to use their spot removal on a creature with this, that might save another creature of yours with no protection at all. And like Dragonbreath said, this plus hexproof, specifically Sacred Wolf and suddenly your 3/1 dies easily to creatures not-much-of-a-threat becomes a 4/2 unblockable invicinvble game winner (barring feild wipes of course).
White needs more cards like this. I always felt that the point of white was to have pretty uninspiring creatures (from a value for mana standpoint) but to have the ability to make those creatures absolutely devasting with instant boosts and enchantments. Between this and Angelic Destiny, I think we're on the right track. Now all we need is a reprint of Flickering Ward, probably the best aura ever printed.

Compare to Unquestioned Authority. You don't get to draw, but this baby costs 1 mana less AND pumps it by 1. For those who played during Judgement, giving something protection from creatures is fairly powerful if you do it at the right time.
Not to mention that this combos well with anything that abuses enchantments. Evershrike anyone?

Your creature's spiritual mantle will not shelter it from a Curtain of Light ! ;)

This card won me many a game in the pre-release. It also saved my butt on several occasions.
Since it worked so well in pre-release, I decided to test it out in my vintage G/W/U enchantment deck -- it's FANTASTIC. The +1/+1 and lower casting cost make it much more viable than Unquestioned Authority, which never made the cut. Now my four Kor Spiritdancer can enjoy Rancor, Spirit Loop and this. 4.0/5, for sure.

Beloved Chaplain in aura form, makes your creature nigh unblockable and a super blocker. Let down only because its an aura and therefore vulnerable in some situations
4/5

Is it me, or is that the Geist of Saint Traft in the artwork?

Budget Angelic Destiny for Traft decks? Yes please! Half the CMC, too, which makes saving a little mana for counterspells/instant draw that much easier.
