Enchantment — Aura2 generic manaBlue mana

Most Auras want you to spend your hand: cast the enchantment, commit the card, hope the buff outraces removal. This one asks the opposite. Removing your maximum hand size sounds like pure upside, but it immediately gives you a reason to hoard, because ten cards in hand turns any enchanted body into a threat swinging for ten more than its printed power. The drawback and the payoff are the same clause: the discipline of not playing your cards becomes the whole strategic axis. The two cards on entry are the buffer against the two-for-one risk every Aura carries, though the timing is unforgiving. That draw is an enters trigger, so if the opponent kills the creature in response to the Aura being cast, the spell loses its target and never resolves; you draw nothing and lose the card. Land it, though, and those two cards seed the very hand you are being asked to keep full. The friction runs through your own turn sequencing: every card you cast to develop the board is a card spent away from the threshold, so the ideal shell draws deep and holds tight, resisting the instinct to empty its grip. The +10/+10 is a conditional you assemble rather than a static reward. It weaponizes the resource most decks treat as spare fuel, converting a full hand from insurance into ammunition.
