Perhaps my least favorite of the atogs. Enchantments are usually expensive and good- I'd rather not feed them for just +2/+2. At least it's cheap.

Are you nuts? Play this + Enchanted Evening and you have something that just stomps everyone. And then you can put an Isochron Scepter Imprinted with Disenchant and destroy every permanent your opponent controls, then attack with this and sac everything and win.
I think he's a little undervalued here. As Mrredhatter showed, there are some great combos to be had with this guy. Auratog + Rancor is really powerful, especially when a Verduran Enchantress is in play.

Spring Cleaning with Isochron is the better choice when Enchanted Evening is involved, especially with library manipulation cards like Brainstorm and Halimar Depths.
But yes, interesting creature when used in the right deck.
I'm considering replacing this in my long-owned auratog deck with Kor Spiritdancer. Funny how I'm about to replace the card that the deck is built around and named after.

So much fun to munch on your own enchantments, Om nom nom!

I find him a useful atog. Not as convenient as sacrificing artifacts or discarding cards, but better then blowing up forests or , even worse, other atogs.

This has got to be one of my favorite flavor texts ever xD That being said, it's not a terribly good card. I mean it does pretty good with Hatching Plans, and maybe Bridge from Below if by some strange twist of fate you accidentally played it or revived it and need it rekilled?

Indeed. With Rancor this becomes :+2/+2 and trample until end of turn, plus a +2/+0 boost on the last one. And then you have a Sigil of the Empty Throne and either a Femeref Enchantress or a Mesa Enchantress out.
funny with the new ordeals from Theros. Things like Ordeal of Purphoros don't specify that it has to be from counters, just "when this is sacrificed." Have your 'tog eat it for a free Lightning Bolt! Cool :D

...Time to make an enchantment deck.
Sac all of her auras, attack, and get them right back. Neat.
You can sacrifice them before their effects resolve to make their effects irreversible.
Auratog also works well to speed up Reality Acid, but I prefer speeding up Reality Acid with Aether Tradewinds.
