Outside of a tribal deck, it's a slightly worse
Pacifism variant. In one, it's an improved Gaze
of Justice. Play it however you want, but it may
not find its slot among the copious white Auras
that remove creatures from contention in a
myriad of ways.

Weight of
Conscience
Generally I prefer my Pacifism effects to make
the creature unable to block as well; having to
rely on creatures of the same type to get it out
of the way for good isn't the best way of
dealing with things. Like many of Lorwyn's
tribal cards, it's better in limited where you
have access to lots of changelings and other
cards that seriously care about creature type. I
don't think I could say it would never be played
in constructed, but there are probably better
options.

Weight of
Conscience
In constructed, just no. There's a lot of more
efficient removal out there to make this
unplayable.
In limited, this thing is ok, since getting 2
creatures out isn't that hard and 2 mana to
essentially kill anything is really good in a
world without removal.

Friday's card
is Weight of Conscience. This is another
enchantment on the lines of Arrest and its
buddies, only you can get rid of the enchanted
creature for good by tapping two creatures which
share a creature type. In any deck that has
white and enough creatures of the same type to
tap for the effect, Weight of Conscience is a
good removal card for white, in my view worthy
of a slot next to Oblivion Ring and Crib Swap.
They make a great removal card especially for
the Kithkins and Merfolk who can generate a ton
of tokens, especially the Merfolk.
