<\/p>Rancor<\/a> may have rotated out of Standard, but thanks to Ethereal Armor<\/a> and a slew of new enchantment creatures, the Auras deck is still alive and kicking.

The Armor counts the number of enchantments \u201cyou\u201d control, \u201cyou\u201d referring to the controller of the Armor (in this case your opponent), so any additional enchantments, including enchantment creatures, on your opponent’s side of the field will continue to give your stolen creature a big bonus.<\/p>\n
