Elvish Lyrist
Disenchant's body has always been the question green answers awkwardly. White gets the instant-speed split between artifact and enchantment removal; green, historically, has had to spend a creature to do the same work. This is that bargain in its smallest possible frame: a one-drop Elf that you cash in, once, for a single enchantment. The tax is what makes the trade honest. The ability stacks three components together (a mana payment, the tap, and the sacrifice), which means the answer arrives a turn after the threat does at the earliest, and only if the creature has survived to untap. That delay is the design discipline keeping a one-mana enchantment-killer from being oppressive: the body telegraphs itself the moment it hits the table, and the opponent gets a full turn cycle to play around it before you can pull the trigger. What it offers in exchange is presence. Unlike a spell drawn into the right window, this sits in play as a standing threat to any enchantment your opponent might commit, and as a 1/1 Elf it folds into the tribe's broader board until the moment you need it. The sacrifice clause is the cost of having that answer pre-deployed: you are not holding removal in hand, you are holding it on the battlefield, and spending it means trading the body for the effect. That is green's recurring compromise between proactive creatures and reactive answers, compressed into a single mana.
