Very good card. Check this out with the new card from Magic 2010, Sanguine Bond. You gain 20 life and opponent loses 20 life. Not a bad way to win a game quickly.

Step 1: Play this card and gain 20 life. Step 2: Don't pay the upkeep cost. Step 3: Play Stifle on the triggered ability. Step 4: Repeat this process as needed and rest easy because you are going to to win...or, yes, use Donate then Boomerang it back or any destroy enchanment spell...hahaha!

in all my years of MTG i've only admired one dude above all the rest. and that's the dude who put together the "trix" deck. that combo had been sitting around forever and one dude put it together and ruled the MTG universe for a season. let me repeat that. anyone could have put this together when 'urza's destiny' came out but this dude did it. i only wish (and apologize) that i knew your name to put on this site and amongst the urban folklore of this great game. kudoes sir............................

I give 5 stars to this card because the best T2 deck which i think is necrodonate or tricks based on this card and donate. To make this wonderful deck you must have at least the half power nine. This deck is worth for many sacrifices. End of all(I am very happy because i have this deck with black lotus, mox sapphire and mox pearl)

This card is great, especially if you have Donate. Play Illusions and then play Donate and watch your opponent suffer when he can not keep up with the upkeep......

Especially if your losing badly, this card can save you. Beware though when it is destroyed you more than likely will lose.
