Some people at my LGS were speculating on a {daybreak coronet} reprint in this set. It does seem to fit the flavor, mechanics, and theme of Theros nicely.
What's everyone else's thoughts? I'd love to see it with new art and the regular border.

Oh for sure! I'd see it getting a mechanic name though, i.e. <mechanic> ~ Enchant a creature already enchanted. But for yeah, for sure! It's not just your group noticing this possibility!

So glad I ordered 4...I really hope they are in the next set!

Could there be something like "living enchantment " like a batter skull for enchantments?

Something like {Halcyon Glaze}

MementoMori

 {Ajani's Chosen} is sort of like that.

Thing is, you can't even cast an Aura without a target, so it would have to be a regular enchantment that made a token, gained the Aura subtype and "enchant creature," then attached itself to the token. Then, if that token died, it'd have to revert back to a regular enchantment and have a way to attach to some other creature.

Sounds even harder to fit on a card and explain than bestow, and bestow's reminder text already leaves out a pretty key part of its mechanic. Also sounds like recreating equipment for no good reason.

That card seems to be a mistake that will never be reprinted, despite the set it's in. Ofcourse I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem like that card should ever be in standard.
I totally agree, just wishful thinking... My {G}{W} deck would be so boss.

I think that the next set will have Xenagos as a God, but not a planeswalker. I don't think they would print a planeswalker two sets back to back and have him as a legendary in the same set.

I think the planeswalkers will be: Ajani and (I really am hoping for) Dack Fayden. Obviously Ajani if you look at the art but the newest MTG comic has Dack Fayden on Theros and he has to avoid Ashiok.

I meant we had the planeswalker already and we will now have the god, not both in one. Am I right in that there hasn't been allusions to a Gruul colored God yet?

No, because there has been allusion to Xenagos being a god.

There we go, Ashiok is a dude. A gaunt dude, but a dude.
Ashiok's mouth and such looks like the main villain before demise in Skyward Sword
