Crown of Awe

Enchantment — Aura1 generic manaWhite mana

The clever beat is the sacrifice clause, which flips a single-target Aura into a tribe-wide blanket the exact moment removal would otherwise leave it stranded on a dying creature. Enchant a Soldier or a Cleric, hold the Crown, and when the spell arrives you cash it in to hand every creature sharing that type protection from black and red until end of turn. Because protection prevents damage, blocking, targeting, and enchanting, the timing matters more than the breadth: respond to a damage-based red sweeper and the whole tribe shrugs it off; respond to a black or red targeted removal spell and the enchanted creature can dodge it entirely, fizzling that spell while still distributing the keyword to its tribe. That instant-speed answer to a two-for-one is what makes this a rare Aura that wants to die. The narrowness is also what dates it: protection from precisely two colors is a wall against a black-red field and a blank against anything else, an effect built for a creature-type-density shell that prized tribal count over individual card quality. It pairs that wall with a specific blind spot. Protection answers damage and targeting, but a non-damage black wrath sweeps right through it, and an edict like Diabolic Edict never touches the creature in the first place: it targets the player and makes them sacrifice, so protection has nothing to deflect. The Crown's job is sharp and conditional: standing immunity for the enchanted creature and, on sacrifice, one turn of it for the tribe against the cheapest burn and direct removal those two colors field, and nothing past that.
