Kavu Lair

Enchantment2 generic manaGreen mana

Symmetric card-draw that rewards size, built for an era whose creatures came big and came in waves. This enchantment pays the player who deploys the body: drop anything past the four-power threshold and that creature's controller draws a card. The symmetry is the catch worth noticing. The trigger fires on any qualifying creature on any side, so an opponent fielding their own oversized threats draws off their own entries, not yours; you only see a card when the entering creature is one you control. It reads as a green payoff but functions as a battlefield-wide incentive that simply happens to favor whoever commits hardest to fat, the build-around tension green enchantments of this period traded in. The threshold does the gatekeeping: at power 4 it skips most utility creatures and the chaff that fills out a curve, asking for a deck where the bodies are genuinely large rather than merely present. There is no toolbox angle here, no recursion, no instant-speed wrinkle: it is a flat, repeatable reward stapled to a board state you have to build toward. What it actually does is reward a deck already inclined to flood the table with heavy creatures, and ask nothing more clever than that you keep doing so before an opponent's big bodies start drawing them into the same advantage.
