Enchantment Creature — Centaur Shaman2 generic manaGreen mana

The tension this design resolves is a familiar one for green enchantment decks: aura strategies want to attack, but pouring more power onto a body you have already spent cards on only deepens the two-for-one exposure. This centaur sidesteps that by treating the buff as a repeating combat-step event rather than a permanent commitment, and by widening the eligible targets to include any enchantment creature you control, not just something wearing an aura. The trample rider is the load-bearing clause: aura decks tend to stack power onto a single body, and a lone fat attacker is easy to chump-block into irrelevance, so pushing damage through is worth more here than the raw +1/+1. Because the buff lands before you declare attackers, you hand it over with full information about the board and then decide whom to send in. It also feeds itself: as an enchantment creature, it is a legal target for its own ability, so in a pinch it swings as a 3/4 trampler for the turn, the bonus fading at end of turn and returning next combat. The modest frame and the incremental payoff are the honest cost of an engine that wants a critical mass of enchantments before it earns its slot; without support, it is a fragile creature that pumps itself once per turn and calls it a day.
