Enchantment — Aura3 generic manaBlue mana

Auras that draw cards answer the two-for-one problem that has dogged enchantment strategies since the earliest sets: sink four mana and a card into a single creature, watch it eat a removal spell, and fall two cards behind. This one hedges the risk by front-loading the payoff into combat. The evasion and the trigger are inseparable: the +1/+0 and flying exist to guarantee the attack connects with the declaration step, and the draw fires when the enchanted creature is declared as an attacker, not when it deals damage, so it replaces itself the moment the creature swings even into a wall or a chump blocker. That timing distinction is the whole point. A card keyed to combat damage could be shut off by a single blocker; drawing on attack locks the value in the instant the trigger goes on the stack. Killing the creature in response no longer denies the card, since the trigger resolves independently of its source. The only way to strip the value is to remove the creature or the Aura before combat or to keep it from ever attacking. Blue has a long history of stapling a body into the air and refilling the hand, but the attack-trigger phrasing is the deliberate upgrade: it converts a fragile one-time investment into a repeatable engine for as long as the creature keeps declaring attacks, and it rewards attaching to a creature already committed to the red zone rather than something you would rather protect.
