Followed Footsteps
I think I first saw this card at the Ravnica
pre-release, but I didn't start looking at it
for casual decks until I got an idea from one of
Jay Moldenhauer-Salazar's articles. A five-mana
aura is slow for competitive play, but not for
the way many people play every day in their own
house. Back then, there were already a lot of
creatures with comes-into-play abilities, and it
was all too easy for decks like that to get out
of hand - much less now that we've had a lot of
design innovation relating to that sort of
triggered ability. I shudder to think what
someone somewhere is doing with this card and
Grave Titan right now.

Followed Footsteps (9/27)
Followed Footsteps is an old, weird Ravnica:
City of Guilds rare that has been a casual
favorite. A copy of whatever creature you want
at the start of each of your turns is pretty
good, especially if there are powerful
comes-into-play effects. Like Massacre Wurm.
Also note that it hits any creature, not just
your own, so you can use it to copy an
opponent's biggest and cuddliest creature.
Five mana is a heavy price to pay, though, and
it's especially heavy when you have to wait a
turn for the spell to start working. With it
also being an Aura, it's a pretty inefficient
way to pull yourself back into a good position
if you're behind, since Auras have two ways to
eliminate them (kill the Aura, or kill the
creature).
