Revenge of Ravens

Enchantment3 generic manaBlack mana

A punishment enchantment that taxes the attack step itself: each creature that comes at you or your planeswalkers bleeds its controller for a point while refunding you the same, a two-life swing per attacker that scales with the width of the board. The design belongs to a small family of mono-black deterrents that discourage aggression by making combat math unfavorable rather than by blocking anything, but where a Propaganda-style tax deflects and a fog absorbs, this one drains. A wide board declaring an attack does real cumulative damage to the opponent's total while topping yours off, and the enchantment never trades or dies the way a defensive body would. The catch lives in the trigger's condition: nothing happens until a creature is actually declared as an attacker, so against a creature-light or purely controlling opponent it can sit as a dead card, waiting for a red zone that never comes. Its natural home is a grindy deck built to win late, where the drain either dissuades the assault outright or slowly inverts the race one attacker at a time. Once it resolves the tax applies on its own, no activation required, which makes it a quiet ceiling on how profitably an aggressive deck can commit to combat: every swing costs something, whether or not you ever lift a blocker.
