Silent Sentinel
White is the color most comfortable hauling enchantments out of the graveyard (Replenish, Open the Vaults, and a long line of mass-recursion effects all live here), but those are one-shot resets, the kind of card you cast once and rebuild from. What this Archon offers instead is a faucet: every attack returns an enchantment, so the value comes not in a single explosive turn but in a loop that has to be defended turn after turn. That places it in the narrow lineage of attack-triggered recursion, where the engine only runs if the body is willing to enter combat, and the ability falls silent the moment the creature stays home. The 4/6 flier has the toughness to survive most blocks and keep the loop alive, which is the whole point of the stat distribution. The seven-mana price is the obvious tax, but the subtler restriction is the target requirement: the enchantment must already be in the graveyard, so the card rewards a deck that naturally fills its yard with auras, sagas, and value enchantments rather than one looking for a single haymaker. Returning a permanent enchantment to the battlefield also skips its casting cost, which matters most for the heaviest enchantments a fair white deck would rather cheat into play than pay for twice. In exchange it asks for a turn cycle spent attacking, a tempo commitment control shells balk at and aggressive ones cannot wait around to fund.
