"Gift of Immortality: Never Ending"

Upon all the gifts that the set of Theros has carries is this wonderful card. At 3 mana this enchantment could target any creature with Heroic and bring out its effect. Wingsteed Rider for example gets a +1/+1 counter but with this enchantment it on it also gains the ability of coming back when it dies. Then at the beginning of the next upkeep Gift of Immortality comes back to attach to the said creature making it big and the possibility of coming back.

Any creature with comes into play ability is great to enchant with this aura. A massacre Wurm for example come backs and kills all the 2/2 creatures on the opponents board. Sakura Tribe elder fetches more land for you when it dies. Terastodon destroys more non-creature permanents and comes back for more. Titans and Primordials make their faces known more and more.


In particular the Sun Titan is a perfect fit for this aura. It becomes immortal indeed (Unless someone exiles it). Imagine A Sun Titan comes into play , the Aura attaches to it from the graveyard. Let us say an opponent Doomblades it. The Gift of Immortality falls to the grave with it but thanks to its effect Sun Titan goes back and who do you think is the perfect target for its ability? Why the same Aura of course!! This could be an engine for sacrfice effects and endless mana , endless milling or endless Pinging. In EDH you won't need a Mikaeus to pull of it off and just do a mono white endless mana , milling or Pinging effect with different artifacts. 

So there we go another wonderful combo in the works. Enjoy.
