It's funny because Charming Prince is a charm! :P

That said, looking at this guy made me realise just how far creature creep has gone over the years. Jeez. Remember back when green was the only one allowed to have vanilla bears? Now look at this and Robin Hood. Yeah yeah, it's a power rebalance, eternal formats aren't that affected, but still.

I was just bemoaning the shortage of etb creatures at 2cmc in my WB blink deck. Not the most impactful abilities here, but I love that it's both a blinker and a decent blink target.

Play one.

Play another, have them target each other on ETB and make your own pair of phasing 2/2.

Brago, King Eternal is pleased by his new heir. The cheapest 'ETB: flicker a thing' card, I believe, edging out Flickerwisp. Only hits creatures you own, which limits it somewhat (can't remove a blocker, for example), but most things you'll want to flicker are yours anyway. Also capable of rescuing a stolen / Mind Control'd princess. And if you somehow have no creatures worth flickering, the base case of scry 2 or gaining life is still pretty good.

Also, I missed that he was a charm on my initial evaluation. That's pretty fantastic.
