Stealth + "can't block" makes this design rather schizophrenic :S

"it is" -> "it's"

Removed "can't block".

Stealth -> Hidden

by Mal:

Not sure I like the Hidden + Can't be blocked combo either, but you can probably get away with this at 1 mana. Auras are traditionally weak so the best comparisons I can find for this are Aqueous Form in Blue (which gives unblockable + upside, though scry 1 is arguably better than hexproof until attacking), and Predator's Gambit, since Intimdate was sideboard unblockable anyway. Since this gives no P/T bonus, I am not sure I would be happy to have this in a color with so much menace and flying spirit tokens anyway.

{1} {b} -> {b} as suggested

by Tahazzar:

Fair enough: I applied the mana cost change.

On a side note, what do you think of Final Flowering? Especially if I went with {1} {b} variation that could destroy any land? That would be much more usable in limited. The set is planned to have an uncommon dual land cycle (for ally colors?), but I still don't think that the Flowering would be that pickable in limited as a "nonbasic" version. It's unfortunate that one of the potential prime targets, Undying Lands, has indestructible. Though you could use Final Flowering on your own Undying Lands to get a "gold" token for {b} which isn't half bad. Or maybe Flowering could exile the land instead now that I think about it...

I like this card. It forces them to have instant-speed removal. I'm not sure about the balance, but I like the effect. B seems like a good place to playtest it.
