Angelic Destiny
The recursion clause is what turns a four-mana Aura into something an aggressive white deck can actually trust. The lethal flaw of every big buff Aura is card disadvantage on a kill spell: spend two cards to enchant a creature, eat a removal spell, lose both. By returning to hand when the enchanted creature dies, this one collapses that two-for-one back into a one-for-one and reloads for the next threat. The body it builds is no joke either: +4/+4 plus evasion plus first strike makes nearly any creature a clock that wins races outright and survives most ground blockers. The Angel-typing rider looks like flavor garnish, but it folds the wearer into tribal payoffs that care about Angels, a small synergy hook on a card that mostly wants nothing more than a warm body to ride. The genuine cost lives in the timing, not the text: it is sorcery-speed reach, vulnerable to instant removal in response with the creature exiled or bounced before the death trigger can fire, and a dead card with no creature on board. That window is the whole tension of the design. Played into an open board it is a recurring threat that grinds an opponent out of answers; played into a fresh removal spell with the stack still open, it is four mana and a turn down the drain.
