Title: Bestow
Post by: Birdbrain on October 02, 2013, 03:59:06 PM
I know a lot of these creatures are pretty bad. Though would they have use in pillow fort? I mean, just slap an {eathral armor} on the one drop white one and it's a 3/3 with lifelink...

The advantage of bestow critters is they can be dug up by auramancers and played again in the late game as enchantments
yes, but there utter crap in constructed. Except for possibly pillow fort

Some are. Like the 3 drop 2/2 flier. I was just wondering if fort could make use of even the bad ones

Actually as enchantments they are not "utter crap." The fact that they stay on the field as creatures when their hosts die is huge, especially post boardwipe.

{nimbus naiad} is utter crap. I'm just trying to figure out if fort can make use of it.

And I didn't say all are utter crap. Read the original post

I feel like these are good for constructed so you can get others to waste disenchants/kill removal on them. The white 3/3 vigilance one is great IMO.

The black death touch is great cheap chump early game or a nice way to make a vanilla creature a good blocker for a few rounds

The new increase in enchantments almost forces all decks to have some sort of disenchant sideboard at the very least

The one drop lifelink could be a 7/7 by turn 2. I'm just wondering about the others

Not sure how you can think that is utter crap...

I kept most of my bestow creatures from my box pull

If they only do bestow in this block those will have great play for all formats.
