Intriguing card. Good ability, good rarity, good stats. Often you'd rather have Auramancer, particularly if you don't have the mana to cast both this and the dead Aura in the same turn, but this has more Johnny potential, especially with sacrificable auras like Floating Shield. I like it.

Makes me want to combo it with Gatherer of Graces/Auratog and Sisay's Ingenuity :P

I like the card. I find it kind of funny that it sounds really powerful when you say that it works like Yawgmoth's Will, but no longer sounds that insane when you compare it to Retether. Originally, the card put a single 3cc or less aura into play, but then I remembered that I had the "When you cast this aura, draw a card" auras in the set, and double-backed and made something a little stickier.
