Hateful Eidolon

Enchantment Creature — SpiritBlack mana

Aura decks live and die on the risk of card disadvantage: sink two or three enchantments into one creature, then watch a removal spell take that body and hand your opponent a multi-for-one. This one-drop answers exactly that fear. It offers the enchanted creature no protection; it converts the death into refills, drawing a card per Aura you had stacked on it. The trigger keys off the enchanted creature dying, which quietly means the payoff wants your Auras spread onto a shared target, and it happily counts your opponent's removal as the trigger just as well as your own sacrifice. That reframes the whole archetype's math: the more heavily you commit to a single body, the more that body's death repays you, so the Voltron pile that used to be a liability becomes a loaded spring. Lifelink on the 1/2 is a small bonus riding on the engine, letting it chip in and stabilize while the graveyard fills. Black rarely gets to be the card-advantage engine for an enchantment-matters strategy; the color's history of Aura payoffs is thin. This is the design that gives the Aura deck a reason to run into removal instead of flinching from it, turning the archetype's oldest structural weakness into its refuel button.
