Untamed Hunger
The combination is the point: a stat boost married to evasion, on a permanent that stays put. Auras pay a steep structural tax for what they do, since every one is a two-for-one waiting to happen the moment the creature dies in response, and the design world has spent decades trying to make the trade worth taking. This one answers with menace, the keyword that turns a modest body into a clock the defender cannot trade with on his own terms. The +2/+1 is sized to matter on a one-drop without overcommitting on a creature that might already be a threat; it pushes a hexproof or unblocked attacker over the line rather than building a single must-answer monster. What menace does to the math is the real work: chump-blocking costs two bodies instead of one, so a board that could absorb a lone enchanted attacker suddenly has to spend twice the resources or take the hit. That makes the Aura's downside (the blowout when removal hits the host) easier to swallow, because the threat it creates pressures the opponent to act on their own turn rather than at the convenient moment. A plain, functional piece of aggressive black enchantment design that knows exactly which restriction it is buying around.
