It's like clotheslining somebody, only you get to draw a card, too!

It makes a creature go "ooo shiny"

But what if the creature has trample?

@Sir_Kaeru
That question was answered five years ago. See the Rulings at the bottom of the Details page.

Oh and by the way, I've been combining this in casual with Smite. It makes me laugh :D

...or you could use Gossamer Chains every turn. Won't combo with Smite, though.

Oh, Kamigawa.
Why was this not costed at White?

An okay cantrip, Pollen Lullaby is probably better in your white deck though.

so, can I block an unblockable? since declaring blockers is never done for it...

Combos pretty nicely with Saprazzan Heir. Draw four cards for 2, and keep your creature : )

Cantrip on something useful should never cost 1 cc. This is appropriately costed, it will stall and replace itself.

@Renegade_Punk - if the target creature has trample, all damage gets through as there's nothing blocking it to assign lethal damage to.

Really wish it were arcane. It's fine enough as is, makes for an interesting method of blocking unexpectedly, but...there's just not enough there.

"Curtain of Light isn't particularly effective against creatures with trample."

I love it when the Oracle text gets snarky.

I wouldn't mind this as an arcane, but it's likely an arcane version would have costed 1 more.

I wonder why they added the Oracle text saying you can cast it only during combat, given that (as the rulings point out) it has no legal targets any other time.

Wait, a mildly effective Kamigawa card?

...I've heard stories.

Wait, creatures that can't be blocked can become blocked? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
