Enchantment — Aura1 generic manaRed mana

Menace does all the work here, and the +2/+1 is nearly beside the point. An aura granting a flat stat bump is a design the game outgrew long ago: paying two cards' worth of tempo into a single creature that any removal spell answers for one is a losing trade the moment your opponent has an instant. Keyword granting rescues it. A creature that demands two blockers stops caring about a wide defensive board, which reframes the aura from a pump spell stapled to a permanent into a connection tool for the deck that needs its threat to actually land: trample riders, on-hit triggers, anything built to get through rather than win the combat count. The permanence cuts both ways. Enchant a creature with its own evasion or recursion and the value stretches across multiple combats; but the two-for-one exposure never disappears, and a patient opponent simply kills the creature with the aura on the stack. It wants a body that already intends to attack and a board where forcing extra blockers unlocks lethal rather than a stalemate, which makes it an enabler for a specific plan rather than a card that improves any creature it lands on.
