Nova Cleric

Creature — Human ClericWhite mana

A one-drop body that costs a Tranquility to detonate, and that staged price is the whole design. The instant-speed answers white has always carried (Disenchant on a single permanent, Tranquility as a one-shot enchantment wipe) commit on the spot. This one plants first and pays later: a 1/2 that does nothing but block and chip until you spend three mana, tap it, and sacrifice it to clear every enchantment on the battlefield, your own included. The symmetry is the catch and the strength at once. You are not picking off one aura; you are trading a creature's life to detonate the entire enchantment-based half of a board state in a single activation. The skill is all in the timing, and since nothing locks the activation to your own turn, you can hold it through the opponent's draw and fire on their end step once the enchantments stacking up are worth more than the Cleric. The body buys patience a bare spell never could, since a held instant sits dead in hand while this one is already on the board doing low work and threatening the wipe the whole time. White's anti-enchantment tools have long scaled with the opponent's commitment rather than answering one target, and this one adds a twist: the sweeper is also a creature you deployed a turn early and can simply leave in play if the threat never materializes.
