Rated five because I love the mechanic. Magic needs this sort of fun mechanics again.

The errata is more confusing than the printed text... Well i suppose it's not the first.

not really confusing at all, just means attackers can shuffle their creatures and put them face down, then after the enemy declares blockers you turn then face up.
If creatures without flying happen to block a flying creature, they don't get to block at all and your attacks go through.

Another example of modern Magic wording making a card completely incomprehensable... like Raging River. Plus, what happened to the face-down part? EDIT: Aah, "at random". See, I had to read the card 3 times to figure that out!

For those of you confused by the incomprehensible oracle, it simply means form blocking groups, then randomly determine which groups block which attacking creatures. The reason for the change is obvious: morph screws the whole thing up. That said, this is hysterical.

When you figure out what it does you are thoroughly disappointed, give me giant's growth.

Until end of turn, assigned blocking creatures are to block attacking creatures at random. Is this so hard of an oracle reading to understand? Jeez

this pretty complicated for green planes walker to figure out best leave it for Teferi to figure it out.

Holy god, the Oracle text is a nightmare.
The best part is the four-word parenthetical reminder text at the end. Waaait! We forgot something! (Piles can be empty.) Whew. Now it's easy to understand!

What makes it so confusing is that you can decide that two or more of your creatures are going to block together, whatever they end up blocking; and that every creature can be blocked, not by chance one creature gets blocked by two and one doesn't get blocked.
I'm going to use this in my banding deck and blow some minds.

Why did Wizards decide that face-down card = ALWAYS A MORPH CREATURE anyway? It ruined Illusionary Mask (not that I could ever afford one) and made this one incomprehensible.
...though I guess the existence of token creatures was enough to completely obfuscate the card's original purpose. Oh well. Still a fun and useful card, if you have common sense.

If you think the old text is a lot more comprehensible, you don't understand what it does.
