Caught in the Brights

Enchantment — Aura2 generic manaWhite mana

Pacifism does half the job: lock a creature out of combat and leave it sitting there, doing nothing, until the board state shifts under it. This Aura takes that familiar pinning effect and welds it to an artifact-focused trigger, turning a stalled threat into removal on a delay. The enchanted creature is shut out of attacking and blocking immediately, the same as any Pacifism variant, but the second clause changes what the card is for: control a Vehicle, crew it into the red zone, and the pinned creature is exiled outright. The design ties two unrelated white tools (the soft-lock Aura and the Vehicle attack trigger) into a single conditional answer that only pays off when your battlefield already leans on crewed artifacts. The friction is obvious: the exile fires only on the attack of a Vehicle you control, so in a deck without one the trigger is dead and the creature stays merely pacified rather than permanently dealt with. It is a piece of removal that asks you to build toward the kill rather than buy it up front, which makes it a tighter, more archetype-specific cousin of the unconditional white exile Aura. The Pacifism portion is the floor; the Vehicle clause is the ceiling, and the distance between them depends on what else you have crewing your side of the board.
