For UW01 enchantment matters.
Interesting ability. I'm not sure where the usage of flash comes in though, outside of using it to put a negative aura on an opponent's creature instead of yours? But we have shifted emphasis on our auras to positive, so that function doesn't do anything within this set at least. Otherwise I think it's a pretty cool ability.
You need to be creative. It can swap Suppression Bonds or Suspended Animation away onto enemy creatures, but also positive auras from creatures who are about to die or as a combat trick. This little helper makes every aura on your creatures into a combat trick plus is a surprise blocker. Very versatile in an aura deck, good counter to a
soft removal deck, since they are both commons so you will see a lot of them.
That's true I hadn't considered that angle of usage.
I think this should just care about your auras rather than creatures. Caring about just your creatures then about any, sits badly with me. I know it loses the ability to get rid of your opponents auras but I don't see that as being a big part of this card, it seems fine without it.
I wanted to make this different than previous Auraswappers, who cared about the owner of the aura rather than the creature. Since we do have fewer negative than positive auras, I found caring about your own creatures just as another angle to care for your own auras. What would the positives be of caring about your own auras? Using it aggressively to change the target of your own Suppression Bonds? Valid tactic, just different to what I had in mind.
Its just the way its worded now seems slightly over complicated. It could just be:
Flash When ~ ETB, you may attach target aura attached to a creature to another creature.
Simpler and still goes what this card originally wants to. Can get your opponents stuff as well but without them or you having an aura its just a 2/3 with flash for

True, that is simpler. Attaching any aura to any creature is pretty strong though, has been on Uncommnons and Rares so far. Would be ok with that change though, we can always change it back to a weaker version.
I think the actual effect at instant speed is worth about M. But since your opponent might not actually have any auras this card could be a blank.
