Nice art, but why pay 1 every time, it should just prevent it, although this card, unlike Demonic Torment and Gaseous Form, can actually stop the enchanted creature from blocking...

Another case in which the written text is clearer than the oracle.

I find the errata clearer, but painfully long winded.

Cards like this exist to force insane errata. That is all.

Play on Prodigal Sorcerer (I hate that cannot get autocard Tim to work) if you are about to cast Royal Assassin.

Haha, I didn't see the "enchant creature" part the first time I read it and totally thought it affected all the opponent's creatures, which was like OH WOW. But it's just one, oh well.

Fixed and colorshifted as Burden of Guilt.

This card seems to break the fourth wall; the prisoner is trapped in the art box.

It's usually better to just remove a creature from the battlefield entirely, and Black has plenty of ways to do that. Still, this card does sort of nicely take care of the exceptions to that rule, like a creature enchanted with Rancor, especially since Black has close to no other "Pacifism" effect, so I guess this could MAYBE see play in a Commander deck...
