Why is the second ability on there?
For when, for whatever reason, a creature you control dies before the Aura can resolve.
However, I just realized that this creates an infinite loop with any sac outlet and an Aura.
And for the same reason the second ability will never matter since every time a creature dies before the Aura can resolve you create a token for it.
Also this doesn't check whether the Aura actually can enchant creatures.
You create a token, but by that time the Aura is already countered and put into your graveyard without that second ability.
With Containment Priest or Hallowed Moonlight, you can force the game into a pretty easy draw too. Maybe the last ability should be a replacement, piggybacking off some piece of the mechanics that allow bestow to work.
Link: Noo. The legality of targets is checked precisely twice: when you cast the spell and when it's resolving. While it's just sitting on the stack, no SBAs are checked.
Nifty card. Reminds me of Ajani's Chosen.
Ugh, you're right. I wasn't thinking about that properly.
And thank you. :)
