Does this card work with Yavaimaya Enchantress in that if you have several enchantments in play, when you bring in yavimaya enchantress then the top X cards becomes the new power of Yavimaya Enchantress when it comes into play (rather than 2)?

Yes it does, as the enchantment's ability checks the creature's power in play, and it only triggers once the creature comes into play. This can lead to some fun interactions with such cards as Ronin Warclub giving you 2 more cards to potentially topdeck, and other such CIP power boosts. Play with Pandemonium for additional CIP fun.

cost 1 to many to be sured in competitive decks, if it cost one it would be broken.

Yet there's a history of cheap 1Green enchantments being used in tournament Magic with great success. Survival of the Fittest and Oath of Druids being two good examples.

Too bad CotC doesn't do anything on its own, though.

Edit: try it with Wirewood Savage and a bunch of beasts. You won't be disappointed!

I'd play this card but when I hear the name I think of Cream Corn, and I really hate Cream Corn... and the card isnt good enough to push through those feelings.

Good in a Naya deck.

How does this work with effects that dump multiple creatures out at once? Take Wolfbriar Elemental, for instance. Do you scry 4 cards, plus 2 for every wolf that comes onto the field with him?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Primordial Sage. Stack it right and you tutor the top of your library for the best card and then put it into hand.

I love this card. Perfect for my green ramp deck. One I have my 10+lands up I can drop a 7+fattie and find another. Rinse and repeat.

This is one of greens healthier and more affordable ingredients for a "Make your own MIRACLE" meal :)

Ugh, Green has so great library manipulation that even blue doesn't have. An enchantment that let you Impulse for X for every creature that enters your field? Sure, you have to play a lot of creatures but with green it doesn't seem a problem...
I really wish that Wizards will do a blue (with or without red) version that trigger with Instants and/or Sorceries being casted. That would be perfect for my Melek EDH deck!

4/5
