Hey everyone, i just wanted to generate some talk about this unloved blue enchantment. I run Attunement in my list and find that it allows for UB reanimator to happen a little easier as well as providing some consistency in other builds. Thoughts?
It's a decent card. But blue is just such a powerful color with way too decent and huge card pool for this card to even made it in. There's just better card in this color.
To be fair i have a 540 cube. Although i wouldnt really compare it to frantic search... its more like a gigantic preordain at frantic mana. The amount of digging it provides has been what has made me keep it in.

It digs deep, but unlike other looting effects, this is -2 card disadvantage instead of -1. That's kinda rough, especially since a lot of the other looting effects and graveyard support cards are pretty good. Preordain is card parity, so I don't think the effects are really comparable.

Since it goes back to your hand, you can use it as one of the discarded cards. It's only -1 cards as I see it. But that doesn't make it good. I'd rather use Forbidden Alchemy in the abstract since that replaces itself.
I understand that the card looks like a pure shout out to reanimator but that really hasn't been our experience. It is inherently a -1 to -2 depending on how you look at things but i've never beaten someone who had one of these along side a consistent draw engine, i.e. howling mine/ jace b/ even mulldrifter. They just beat you down with consistency. It only gets worse if the person with attunement plays board wipes and free counterspells.
that is very true, that and it makes me all warm and fuzzy when i discard squee or gravecrawler/bloodghast ... or loam. I just wanted to share what i felt was a gem in this card.

I would also find it hard to use this one over Frantic Search, Careful Study, or Ideas Unbound if you're going for reanimator support.

Ya, Loam is really good.
I think there are too many higher quality looting effects to run Attunement, personally.
