­Challenge # 005. Obviously intended to be animated, and requires support from block. I made it cost 3, since, I assume, any world that animates enchantments sort of regularly, probably makes their power + toughness equal to casting cost. That would make this a strong 3/3 worth the wait. That is, unless enchantments becoming creatures is very common... then they might automatically become 2/2s. But then it would be very common, and this would still be a great 2/2.

Weird... I'm not sure what to think of it.

Hm. You'd need a block with a ridiculous amount of enchantment animation to make this worthwhile. Like, in every colour, in common. But I would love to see that set. The "enchantment animating set"!

Yay. I love this kind of effect. I did enchantments like this twice in Sienira's Facets (Venomvine Lattice, Seal of Chastisement), although with them I made the reward more subtle because they do have ways to deal damage on their own; the set has loads of animation though so it shouldn't take people long to find the fun.

I've also got an artifact in the second set of the Clockwork Wings block that's similar. My thinking is that if each set of the block has at least two uncommons that can animate an artifact, then one artifact that needs to be externally animated is okay in the second or third set. Uncommon is clearly the right place for it.

Love the concept of a flying enchantment.

You may also like the current Oracle wording of Gliding Licid. It's a creature which says "Enchanted creature has flying" even if you have no intention of turning it into an Aura :)
