Opal Awakening
WW
Enchantment

Imprint - When Opal Awakening comes into play, remove a creature card in your hand from the game face-up.

Whenever you play a global enchantment that shares a converted mana cost with the imprinted card, it becomes a copy of that card and retains its abilities.  It's still an enchantment.

Current Wording:
Opal Awakening
WW
Enchantment

Imprint - When Opal Awakening comes into play, remove a creature card in your hand from the game face-up.

Global enchantments you control that share a converted mana cost with the imprinted card are copies of that card and gain its abilities.  They're still enchantments


Changes:
-Wording changed to match Volrath's Shapeshifter.
-Wording changed again to maintain space-time continuum

Why not just put the creature directly into play?

Because every enchantment that fits the condition becomes a copy of the creature -- not just the first one.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I think Imprint should stay as an artifact mechanic for the same reason [card]Chub Toad[/card] hasn't been errata'ed to have bushido.

I know this won't happen in a tournament, but if my opponent has Chaos Orb in his hand while I'm controlling his turn from a Mindslaver, who flips the card if I force him to play it and activate it?

This card is a rules nightmare, because of that "and retains its abilities" clause. I don't want to think about what kinda of nightmarish impossibilities this could create.

The only logic-bender i can come up with is Volrath's  Shapeshifter, which would end up subsuming the enchantment's abilities while a creature  was on top of your graveyard. And Humility will work the same way it does under Opalenscence.  Every other enchatment works fine as a cerature.

What about something like Necromancy, then? Or licids?

Maybe a clause stating "As long as it remains a global enchantment, it blah blah blah."
