Naturalize the disenchant. Stapling artifact-and-enchantment removal to a creature body is one of green's oldest tricks for converting a reactive answer into a proactive play: where a sorcery sits dead in hand until the opponent gives it a target, a 4/4 always has a job to do. Uktabi Orangutan did it for artifacts alone at a smaller size; this widens the target line to cover enchantments too and pays for the extra coverage with two more mana and a bigger body. The trade-off is real, and worth respecting: the trigger reads "destroy target," not "up to one," so against a deck running nothing to point at, you are forced to aim it at one of your own permanents if you control a legal one. That mandatory clause is the cost of bundling the answer onto a body you would happily run anyway. The enters-the-battlefield framing also means the removal travels with the creature: flicker it, reanimate it, bounce and replay it, and the destruction fires again, turning a one-shot answer into a repeatable one across the right shells. Green has been reprinting and re-skinning this template in slightly different sizes for decades because it holds up: a fair body, a relevant ETB, and no decision more complex than picking the worst permanent on the board, even when the worst one is yours.
