Has it's place in draft/sealed, not so much in constructed.

this translate to naturalize with a kicker of 2 to scry 2... only you have to pay the kicker!

Easily maindackable in sealed. Possibly draft too.

they've put a LOT of Enchantment hate in this block right out of the gates o.o
it makes me really excited because they haven't been this cautious about hating their own picked theme since Mirrodin!!! x)
Enchantments are going to be Soo pushed o.O And I mean BESIDES the 15 guaranteed Indestructible Gods o.o
The Nymphs and Emissarys in Born of the Gods and Journey into Nyx are probably great, to say nothing of non-cycle Enchantment Creatures and non-creature Enchantments.
Also, as a Designer, I would just like to print two cards :) :
"Destroy target non-creature enchantment" and "Destroy target enchantment creature"
because....why not :)

Scry 2 gives you 3 more viable options than Scry 1 (assuming bottom of deck doesn't matter) and is easily world the the mana over naturalize.

Eh.... it's not bad, but there are already at least two other four mana naturalizes out there, that draw you a card too. And I personally prefer draw a card over scry 2.

This seems... off. During Mirrodin Block, they made it quite clear that scry 2 is worth 1 colorless mana. You can see it in Ferocious Charge v. Titanic Growth and Magma Jet v. Shock.
So why doesn't this cost 3? Using it as a conditional kill spell shouldn't be the issue - they wouldn't have printed Shatter in both Mirrodin AND Scars if that were the case. I understand that they have started making anything that can kill a creature pretty terrible at common (since that has become the policy, Draft has been more fun) but 3 mana is already way too much for any non-Krosan Grip Naturalize.
I'm just going to go ahead and say it: Whichever developer costed this did a poor job.

There are much more enchantment creature and legendary enchantments in this set.
