Combine this with a Pledge of Loyalty in a sunburst deck. Gotta love anytime you become immortal.

Not quite immortal. You can still lose to effects that cause you to lose life other than damage, and that's the biggest downfall I've seen for players that use this card.

This card is about to get a lot cooler with the release of Rise of Eldrazi and the card Near-Death Experience

1. Any non-targetted destruction spell (ie. Wrath or DoJ) will still affect the enchanted creature. Or destroying the creature enchantment first (although depending on your deck and cards in hand, destroying the Worship may work out better). So it's hardly immortal. It's immortal in the same way that having a Platinum Angel in play is immortal - theoretically possible, but not likely.
2. As has been mentioned, it seems like Near Death Experience has been designed with Worship in mind. Your opponent can't even risk bringing you close to death, because a little over-exertion and you win the game. Might go well in some sort of RW deck so you can burn yourself at EoT to bring yourself down to 1.

@TreeTrunkMaster: That's why I got one of those in my enchantment deck. 4/4 angel tokens Luminarch Ascension and Worship and this ? You get to choose between two deaths.
In fact, you shouldn't believe in any idols- that's not right either. In fact, you should destroy all idols, they're that bad. In fact, anyone who creates an image of Serra should be the victim of a Jihad.
Or not.

A great retaining card that crushed many weenie victory strategies of the past.
Also great for decks that need extra time to build up amazing combos.
This card showed me the necessity of removal, and showed that while most enchantments may not win the game, they can help you in other ways, thus to not underestimate them.

Especially awesome with the following combo - Worship + Fountain Watch + Privileged Position
Easily 5/5
And with near-death experience "I want to win"
And it's in the right color this time, which is nice.
A strong card on its own, but a *great* card in combos.
