Happily Ever After

Enchantment2 generic manaWhite mana

The rarest kind of alternate win condition: one whose enters-the-battlefield mode is genuinely useful and whose win clause is nearly impossible to satisfy honestly. The gain-five-and-draw-a-card trigger gives every player something (including your opponents), which is the tell that the enchantment was never meant to sit quietly as a value piece. The real payoff demands three simultaneous conditions on your upkeep, and the middle one is the killer: six or more card types counted across your permanents and your graveyard. Card types are a scarce resource by design, so reaching six means reaching well past creature, artifact, enchantment, and land into the corners of the type system, drawing on instants and sorceries that can only exist in the yard, plus whatever else the card pool offers. Layer that over the demand to span all five colors among your permanents and hold your life at or above your starting total, and you have a checklist masquerading as a game plan. The design leans into the fairy-tale conceit: the storybook ending you can technically reach but almost never earn without building the entire deck around the ceremony. What makes it a coherent puzzle rather than a joke is that each requirement pulls in a different direction (color spread, type diversity, life maintenance), so the deck that solves one usually strains against the others. The win is real, the enchantment is not fragile, and the whole thing is a machine for testing how far a player will bend a decklist to reach a single upkeep trigger.

When this enchantment enters, each player gains 5 life and draws a card. At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are five colors among permanents you control, there are six or more card types among permanents you control and/or cards in your graveyard, and your life total is greater than or equal to your starting life total, you win the game.
