Patrician's Scorn

Instant3 generic manaWhite mana

Disenchant has charged the same two mana for one enchantment since the early days, and any spell that sweeps every enchantment at once has always carried a tax for the scope. This card collapses that tax to nothing under one condition: cast another white spell earlier in the turn and the four-mana board wipe becomes free. The conditional alternative cost is the entire engineering problem solved in a single clause. Pay full price when your hand stalls and white spells are scarce, or unlock the free cast and the spell turns into a tempo-neutral reset that strips an opponent of every aura, anthem, and static lock they were leaning on. The condition is permissive and cheap to satisfy: a white one-drop, a removal spell, a cantrip, anything white played first in the turn opens the door. That rewards a mono-white or white-heavy shell not through synergy keywords but through sheer chromatic density, a quieter and more demanding requirement than a single colored pip suggests. As enchantment strategies have surfaced and receded across eras, the appeal of an answer that costs nothing extra to deploy has risen and fallen with them; against a deck built to win through its enchantments, paying zero to erase all of them is a swing few boards survive. The whole design lives in the gap between four mana and free, and the only key to that gap is committing your turn to white.
