I really like in this card, in fact I use it in my mono White enchantment deck. Really handy, as you can tell. Simple and effective.

I really like this guy. I use him in an enchantment deck along with Mesa Enchantress and Sigil of the Empty Throne. If you get cheap enchantments you can return to your hand like Flickering Ward, this card can power up your army fast.

Enchanted Evening will not combo with this for two main reasons

1.When coming into play, not in play the permanents are not enchantments yet, when they reach play-battlefield they are enchantments.

2.This is a triggered ability, Enchanted evening is a universal ability. They do not coincide in effects because of when and how they happen.

If you don't believe me check out Enchanted Evening.

Use auras that you can return to your hand, or ones that return to your hand when they are put into the graveyard. Add in a sigil of the empty throne and you will have a lot of angels that constantly grow bigger.

Most Complicated Infinite Combo Ever:

play Celestial Ancient

play an Oblivion Ring, target anything (preferably something of theres)

play another Oblivion Ring, targetting your last Oblivion Ring. This exile your first Oblivion Ring and return to play whatever you exiled with it (that second bit doesnt really matter).

play a third Oblivion Ring, target your second Oblivion Ring. It will be exiled returning the first Oblivion Ring to play. When it is returned to play, target the third ORing. It will be exiled and the second ORing will come back in play.

so basically you oblivion ring your oblivion ring than play an oblivion ring to oblivion ring that oblivion ring unoblivion ringing (?) the last oblivion ring to reoblivion ring the first oblivion ring... etc

since their all enchantments, all your creatures will get +infinity/+infinity counters.

Chance of getting 3 Oblivion rings at once and getting none of them Naturalized?
Very low.

But come on, it'd be total oblivion-ring-ception

@QuestionMark1

Read the rules text again. Your combo only plays two Oblivion Rings.

@QuestionMark1: That's wrong because you need to, as the Oracle Text states, "cast" the enchantments. Them entering the battlefield like that does not affect this card.
