Strip Bare

InstantWhite mana

White's answer to the problem of the over-suited creature: not the body itself, but everything bolted onto it. Where most disenchant-style removal in white picks off a single artifact or enchantment, this one strips a chosen creature back to its base stats in one instant, sweeping away every Aura and Equipment at once. That clean partition is what the card is built around. The creature survives, so you are not buying a kill; you are buying the unwinding of an investment, and the more an opponent has committed to one body (a stacked Voltron threat, a pile of Equipment funneled onto a single carrier), the more the one mana returns. It punishes concentration specifically. Against a board where buffs are spread thin it does almost nothing, which is the honest limit of a card this cheap and this narrow. The instant speed is doing real work too: it lets you respond the moment a creature suits up and swings, dissolving the gear after the attacker has been declared and before damage settles, or wrecking a combo built on a single enchanted piece. It is a precise tool for a precise failure state, the kind of asymmetric answer white reaches for when a deck has put all of its eggs in one creature and dared you to deal with it.
