Veil Marshal
{3}{U}
Creature -- Illusion
2/2

As long as Veil Marshal is enchanted, enchanted creatures you control are unblockable.

***

Well, here is the new idea for Veil Marshal that I promised would be forthcoming. It isn't excessively big, but that's quite intentional. It definitely has feel of a marshal to it, since it leads your other creatures.  By wording the ability the way I did, I think I can keep the cost of this creature managably low. As it is, without a bunch of enchantments, he's relatively weak, while with a bunch of enchantments (which inherrently weakens most decks), he's very formidable.  If he just granted unblockability to enchanted creatures, then a deck could run him with far fewer enchantments.

***

Current Wording:

Veil Marshal
{3}{U}
Creature -- Illusion
2/2

As long as Veil Marshal is enchanted, enchanted creatures you control are unblockable.
Sacrifice an aura enchanting Veil Marshal: Veil Marshal can't be the target of spells or abilities this turn. (This doesn't remove any other auras enchanting it.)

I see no problems at all with this. It is fairly weak and I guess there is room for an additional ability. I can't think of a synergetic one though just Flying, Unblockable and Shadow spring to mind (as he could be evasive in order to enable others to be evasive too).
It would be nice if the Auras had an additional effect on him or could be used in other ways (like sac an Aura enchanting him instead of him getting destroyed) but I'd have no problems at all with the original version.

I like Matt's rendition of dandan's suggestion for an ability that removes enchantments from this creature.  Tension between the two abilities while making this a little bit more worthwhile for its price.

I made sure to add the reminder text because beginners might not know that enchantments only target when cast and not at other times. It's a very common question!
