Woah, Rise is in the gatherer already?? Awesome! Anywho, this timeshifted version of Disenchant (:P) is perfectly acceptable.

The reprint for RotE makes sense. Might help you deal with totem armor in Limited.

@AngelxLegna No it will get reprinted in M11; it's a staple.

@Sironos Black and Blue don't get artifact or enchantment destruction; it's one of their weeknesses. In blue, your best bet is to try to counter them, try Negate. In black, the closest thing you've got is Duress.

I wonder why they reprinted this when M11 is comming out soon. Maby because they dont plan on reprinting this in 11? That would mean Creeping Mold is back, but Acidic Slime is the elite version of mold, and i have a feeling thats getting reprinted.

With Nature's Claim in the block, I'm not sure why they had to print this here, as well.

Flavor text makes no sense. Implies that they should have destroyed the hedrons long ago to prevent the rise of the Eldrazi, but the hedrons were part of a plane-wide imprisonment system for the Eldrazi created by the 3 planeswalkers when they imprisoned them on Zendikar ages ago.

Tranquility has also been powered up and reprinted as back to nature

In my opinion, the only version of this card to have both great text and great art. Only way to make this card any better would be to slap the Shakespeare quote from 8th onto an appropriately epic piece of artwork.

@Sironos , if the enchantment is an aura there are plenty of bounce effects in blue to deal with them.

This and shatter are the two best cheap artifact killers still in standard edition. Shatter is just the red version.

I was surprised when this card was printed in Onslaught but knew the shifting of the color pie meant White was losing Disenchant. A couple of years later and now it seems only natural (joke). With Artifacts and Enchantments in various power level in every set, Naturalize always has a target to destroy. I am always happy to hit a Pacisfism to get a surprise blocker or even an opposing Sword of Feast and Famine or Sword of War and Peace So many uses and there's more to come.

@ Nagoragama Work on your Vorthos buddy. Yes, the hedrons were imprisoning the Eldrazi but the long exposure to their prisoners corrupted them to an extent. Add that to the three Planeswalker's failure to restore them and they were barely functioning. During the events of Rize all they were doing was keeping the Eldrazi bound in their physical forms (as opposed to their extraplanear Cthulu form.) In fact the corruption went so far that they hedrons actually helped the Eldrazi in many ways I.E Hedron Matrix. Because the large part of Zendikar does not understand all this interplanear stuff they just saw the beneficial effect of the Hedrons. Like if someone attacked your mother with a chainsaw you would assume the chainsaw helped him, even if in fact it was keeping him from turning into an extra dimensional entity and eating our reality. Most Zendikarians assumed that the Hedrons woke the Eldrazi (as they started doing things as they sense the waking of their prisoners. See Hedron Scrabbler) and helped them go about trashing the world. It was a pretty logical assumption to be fair.
