One of my most favorite commons of all time. Mono-black is so tempting with cards like this and cabal coffers out there.

Not many auras are worth the slightest attention, but this one is a forgotten gem.

In multiplayer, it's fun to drop on an opponent's creature. The knowledge that you will eventually steal their creature may unsettle him, but point out that you'll gladly keep his creature alive with your mana if he starts to attack a third player.

QUESTION... If you were to use this on an opponent's Withengar Unbound before killing it, does it come back under your control as Withengar, or Elbrus? Same with lands that are turned into creatures or artifacts under the effect of March of the Machines?

I believe this is the question Cyberium was asking. A creature that was originally something else.

@WhereDidItGo: Actually, Cyberium is correct. You might not have realized what he was getting at, though. If you have turned a non-creature permanent into a creature and have enchanted that creature with Shade's Form then, when the creature dies, Shade's Form will trigger and will return that card from the graveyard to the battlefield. The card gets returned to the battlefield even though it stopped being a creature when it entered the graveyard.

Awesome card, you can make so many shenanigans with this.

I use it in a Gleancrawler Deck which uses Soldevi Adnate and cards like Priest of Gix, Shriekmaw and Dross Golem to sac-ramp into Gleancrawler or another CC6 Fattie.

So Round two you play the Soldevi, round three a Sac-creature and sac it for Mana and can play Gleancrawler to get the creatures back. I also have Grave Pact in the Deck...

And this is where this card comes in handy:
-you either pump one of the many evasion creatures (fear/ trample)
-You enchant Gleancrawler to ensure all your creatures stay on the battlefield
-you play it on enemy creatures and either shriekmaw or grave pact them to death and steal them.

Just fits in perfectly, and is a good outlet for the sacced mana.

Just fyi:
Deck also has Burnt offering, Duress, Deathgreeter/auto... (see all)
