Ajani's Chosen

Creature — Cat Soldier2 generic manaWhite manaWhite mana

The payoff piece for an archetype that has always struggled to justify itself: the enchantress build that wins through bodies rather than card draw. Every enchantment that resolves under it spits out a 2/2 Cat, which turns a pile of cheap auras and globals into a creature engine without asking you to commit creatures to the board first. The Aura clause is the clever part, and it handles a specific awkwardness in how auras enter. When you cast an Aura, it must enter attached to a legal target already in play; that entry triggers this card's ability, which goes on the stack and mints the Cat when it resolves. At that point you may move the Aura onto the fresh token. So an Aura you stapled to an existing creature can be peeled off a beat later and re-homed on a body that came with it, converting a one-for-one buff into a self-contained two-power unit that carries its own enchantment. The body is the catch. A 3/3 for four invites a removal spell on the way down, and the engine produces nothing until the next enchantment resolves, so the card asks you to have already assembled the enchantment density it rewards before it arrives. It does not search for enchantments or protect itself; it only converts what you were always going to cast. That makes it less a deckbuilding centerpiece than a multiplier: either the best thing in your hand or an overpriced 3/3, depending entirely on what surrounds it.

Whenever an enchantment you control enters, create a 2/2 white Cat creature token. If that enchantment is an Aura, you may attach it to the token.
