Everyone is talking about how this is good in control. Isn't it also good in white aggro or Boros aggro? Their blockers can't block the turn they come in, you can ping them with Extort same as you would a burn spell.

I haven't really played a lot of constructed though, is it too slow?

I love this card from a design/flavor standpoint.

It seems good at what it does too. Also makes Restoration Angel

slightly less scary too.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.

The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.

I hope you all feel really smart now.
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.

How come a card that grants haste costs 3 ( fervor ) and a card that hoses it plus has an ability it costs 2? Guess it negates flashed in blockers as well.

Because giving everything you have haste is potentially way more powerful than negating your opponents' haste and stopping first turn blocking.

(But mostly because it's white.) I don't play much Standard these days, but i'd like to discuss this; It's not like we needed this effect in 2cmc Enchantment+bonus Extort form. From MaRo's article: "I drafted every extort card I could get my hands on and my decks were insane. The team quickly shifted from 'Is this any good?' to 'Hey development, you better take a look at this.'" Extort is more powerful than it looks (even more against RDW) so wouldn't a Due Respect reprint have sufficed? RDW and Zombies aren't format warping, but this enchantment seems like a great way to make them almost unplayable (since they are about Haste/speed and they don't get Enchantment hate), much like Nihil Spellbomb and Tormod's Crypt (along with other hate )did/do for the Innistrad block/Golgari self-mill decks. Yes, those are colorless+hard to counter and this is white+removable (if you splash W or G), but white's in nearly every popular Standard control deck because white has the answer for everything. Plus you have Boros coming into play that will give white a boost of aggro craziness, so why keep giving white MORE answers to problems it's not even having?
