Would this be busted as a 4/1 {4}{w}?

EDIT: Yeah, it probably would be. Blinking Spirit isn't a bad card after all.

"permanent" -> "creature or enchantment"

Interesting card. Personally I'd limit it to just enchantments or just creatures - both seems a little too flexible, in that it protects basically your entire board from removal (as well as itself) for no additional cost. Note that this goes infinite with every 0-cost creature and an accompanying ETB effect, but that's probably what you had in mind, no?

"creature or enchantment" -> "nonartifact permanent"

It's not what I had in mind exactly, but as long as those shenanigans require two other combo pieces + this, I tolerate it. I mean, it's a 6 CMC card so that already reduces it's usability as a combo piece. EDH might be the place where it could be somewhat problematic, but perhaps not overly so.

I changed this to "nonartifact permanent" because it sounds better IMO plus it feels a lot more flavorful. This means lands are back on the table whatever that enables. If they ever print like a {0} Eldrazi, then those combos are in again, but as a said, it's fine... Actually, "permanent that's one or more colors" would be flavorful as well and would stop most lands as well... It's kind of wordy though.

Oh yeah, I also posted this on reddit/r/custommagic:
