Eriette of the Charmed Apple
Aura-based control has always carried a structural tax: the cards you spend locking down a creature (Pacifism, Faith's Fetters, the whole Arrest lineage) are pure tempo debt, real cardboard buying nothing but the removal of a single threat. This card rewrites that math without touching the Auras themselves. It reads every Aura you control twice: once as a taxed pacification (enchanted creatures cannot attack you, so one Aura neutralizes rather than merely blunts) and once as a drain counter, converting the board of enchantments you laid down into a recurring life-swing at your end step. Every Pacifism-style effect becomes defense and offense at once, turning a maligned enchantment archetype into a genuine clock. Note the precise wording that keeps it from being a hard lock: enchanted creatures cannot attack you or your planeswalkers, but nothing stops them swinging at your opponents' faces, which makes her a friendlier presence at a crowded table than a blanket Ghostly Prison. The 2/4 body is the tell for how the design wants to be played: durable enough to survive a stray removal spell or absorb a hit, small enough that she reads as a value engine rather than a beater. The axis she opens is patience: assemble the Auras, protect the drain, and let the end step do the killing.
