Laccolith Rig

The Laccolith creatures were a small, half-finished red experiment from this era: bodies that, when blocked, could throw their power at a target as direct damage rather than slugging it out in combat. This Aura grafts that ability onto any creature, promising to turn a beater into a repeatable burn trigger whenever the opponent commits a blocker. The rider, though, justifies the one-mana price by cutting the opposite way the rate suggests. When the enchanted creature redirects, it is that same creature, the one that became blocked, that then sits out the combat-damage step. So the redirect is a fork between two outputs from one body, not a free double-tap: ping the wall (or anything else) before damage, or let it deal its combat damage normally, never both. And the blocker still gets to hit back unless your trigger killed it first. The deeper conditionality is that the whole thing idles until the creature is actually blocked, which a careful opponent simply refuses to do, leaving a one-mana enchantment to make a creature conditionally scarier only on turns the defender chooses. That restraint is what kept the effect from being a problem. As a design it lives in a small cul-de-sac of attacker-decides-where-power-lands ideas from this block, the running question of what combat looks like when the attacking player, rather than the rules engine, gets to aim the damage.
