wallisface, there are two reasons for which I would choose Enduring Vitality over Cryptolith Rite: first, it is a creature itself, which gives it excellent synergy with my creature-focused Ghried deck, and, second, it has self-recursion, which I feel makes it easily worth 1 additional mana over the non-creature enchantment; does that not make sense?

Why Enduring Vitality when Cryptolith Rite is a whole mana cheaper?

Either of those cards look terrible so just pick whatever one you don't want.

griffstick, I am sorry, but I must disagree, as Chromatic Lantern has been very useful, to me, in various situations; how can anyone dislike such amazing mana fixing?
Also, I would prefer Enduring Vitality over Cryptolith Rite, since that card can actually work, on its own, rather than requiring other cards to have any impact upon a game.

Chromatic Lantern and Joiner Adept should not be up for discussion. They both suck.
- They are only good cards on turn two.
- They provide almost no additional mana. Making them both even worse late game.
However Cryptolith Rite provides ramp and fixing. And in some cases it's a ritual effect if deployed late in the game. This card wins games in a similar fashion that Dockside Extortionist did.

DarkKiridon, why are you being so rude?
TheOfficialCreator, how does Cryptolith Rite provide additional mana?

DemonDragonJ Cryptolith Rite provides color fixing and extra mana; Joiner Adept only provides color fixing.

TheOfficialCreator, in that case, I shall definitely choose Dryad of the Ilysian Grove for my decks that have a strong emphasis on creatures, but may I ask why you believe that Cryptolith Rite is superior to Joiner Adept? Is it because creatures are generally easier to destroy than are enchantments, or do you have another reason for believing that?
plakjekaas, I have copies of Swords to Plowshares in the majority of decks that I have that contain the color white, and I made a mistake in my previous post; I completely forgot that Cryptolith Rite and Joiner Adept grant their benefits to two different types of permanents, so I am very sorry for making that mistake.

plakjekaas, the only reason that I would choose Cryptolith Rite over Joiner Adept is if I were building a deck with a focus on enchantments or other non-creature spells, and I agree with both you and griffstick that Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is the best card of this group, so I likely shall choose that card, instead.
