Ephara's Enlightenment - Magic the Gathering (MTG) Card Review

by  ElspethFTW,  Old School Duelist

Ephara, God of the Polis is an interesting card. Ephara’s Enlightenment, on the other hand, is a bit underwhelming. For 1WU (1, White, Blue), Ephara’s Enlightenment places a +1/+1 counter on the enchanted creature and gives that creature flying. Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may return Enlightenment back to its owner’s hand.

While this is by no means a terrible enchantment, and is certainly playable in a Heroic deck (especially with Hero of Iroas), it’s hardly game-breaking. The Ordeal enchantments are considerably better than this. This isn’t bad in Limited, but it hasn't seen much Constructed play outside of Block Constructed blue/white Heroic brews and a few rogue Commander decks.
