Suppression Bonds

Enchantment — Aura3 generic manaWhite mana

Pacifism that learned to read the whole permanent type line. The original neutralizing aura answered creatures and only creatures: it stopped them from swinging or chump-blocking and left everything else alone. This widens the enchant clause to any nonland permanent, which is the design move that matters, and tacks on a clause that turns off activated abilities. The result is a single aura that can muzzle a problematic planeswalker's loyalty ticks, shut off a value-engine artifact or enchantment whose threat is the activated ability rather than the body, or pin down a creature whose danger lives in a tap ability rather than the swing. White's removal philosophy has always preferred restraint over destruction: the thing stays on the battlefield, it just stops doing the thing you cared about. The cost of that breadth is the usual aura tax. You are paying four mana to suppress rather than answer, the permanent is still there to be sacrificed for value, and you are down a card the moment they bounce or blink it. What it buys for that price is reach across a board state where the dangerous permanent is not a creature at all, the exact gap a creature-only pacification aura leaves open.
