Reduce the cost by 2 and we get an amiable and still easily balanced card.

Way too expensive for what it is and on top of that you have to pay out more to enchant it. It's an interesting concept but I wouldn't be running it in any white decks.

Quite a nice effect, but 1/1 for 3 mana is quite ridiculous, especially that you need another card for this effect to work, and the majority of auras cause card disadvantage. It's just not worth the effort.

That face looks more like a cat to me.

Someone doesn't know how to draw dogs.


Even in the perfect deck, this is only ever going to be mediocre. It's essentially an invitation to eat a 2for1 and lose because you're playing slow cards like this with lots of creatures.

Rancor/ Spirit Loop. Any creature with an enchantment is an automatic target for card advantage, and this one gives your opponent an added incentive to remove it, making the recursive enchantments even more useful.

if it was one colorless cheaper it would be ok, as it is it's clearly too expensive, enchantments would be wasted on it

also Serra's Blessing

Serra's Blessing is one mana cheaper even before you can get an enchantment on the dog. Could have been a nice effect if it wasn't so expensive.
