I just have one question: Why the sorcery speed restriction?

Ah Enchant lands; one of the worst mechanics ever imo.

Did they... really just make Quidditch into a card?

Yes pathetic planeswalker, give your creatures the status of birds, so my spiders may feast on their unholy evasion.

@SyntheticDreamer At instant speed all your guys threaten reach. Still not overpowered, but significantly better.
Anyways I think this card is actually pretty good. Giving whatever you want evasion till the end of the game for a mana a turn? It's not bad :/ Hey Dimir, you want to get through with your Cipher? Here ya go.
For 1 mana you can give a creature evasion before your attack. It wouldn't be bad for a Ninja deck, although there are better cards for 2 CMC. If it was a touch more expensive and added a cantrip I'd love it. As is, probably a 3/5. Definitely needs the right setting to be relevant.

I guess this was made a sorcery-speed effect because using this as a combat trick could be overpowered.

At least this enchant land is cheap.

4/5. Skygames warning sign: "Don't look up, beware of droppings."

Because Skyjeks play Quidditch in their off time, when they're not partying with a whole Battalion.
And the enchant lands are actually some of the more powerful options for durdling in Limited. Some of these durdles lead to awesome plays. Underworld Connections is quite possibly one of the best examples of the effect; it harkens back to Phyrexian Arena, and old player favorite, AND even has an off-switch.

I think this would work pretty well in a Simic deck. With all the flying hate that green has, this can turn something situational like Plummet into a sorcery speed Murder. Plus, it can give one of your fatties evasion. I like it.

A bit underrated, good for Green/Blue combos. Green helps you get the mana ramp so tapping a mana hopefully won't hurt as often and this card combos with Plummet/Aerial Predation/other green spells with flier hate allowing direct removal to graveyard unrestricted by opposing creature size (something both colors may lack a bit), and can give your fat greenies evasion.
--Oops, fiddlestick beat me to it.

Personally, if I wanted to give a creature flying, I would have used Flight. But if it was in a deck where creatures aren't likely to last, I would use this. I can see how this can be better than Flight.

Not a bad reason to splash blue in a Limited Gruul deck. Combined Simic and Gruul in a pool I had once, and this got in some heavy hitters that wouldn't normally do much of anything to consider. Not absolutely first-pick-need material, but an interesting way to push through damage.
Too bad az and boros, Dimir swoops in and takes the best players and erases them from history.
Also, this card is secretly a champion in my Pull! UG deck that uses flying hate. Strictly casual.
In ravinica limited this is played with Simic to get their evolved beatsticks over the enemy lines.

I was going to comment on how nice it is to use this to smack an ascended lawmage out of the air... then I realised I've been cheating for the last two weeks by using it that way. RTFC, children. Read the fine card...
