Enchantment — Aura3 generic manaBlue manaBlue manaBlue mana

Six mana of triple-blue commitment buys you something Control Magic always promised but never quite delivered: a steal that works on anything, not just creatures. The original mind-control aura was locked to creatures; this one enchants any permanent, which means it pulls planeswalkers, artifacts, enchantments, and lands out from under their owner just as readily as it lifts a fatty. The untap clause is the quiet operator here. Most theft auras leave a tapped target tapped, so stealing a creature that just attacked or a tapped land hands you a body you cannot immediately use. Untapping on entry closes that window: you take the tapped attacker and can block or swing with it next turn, or seize the land and tap it for your own mana right away. The triple-pip cost is the toll for that generality. Where a creature-only theft effect can afford a lighter, splashable price, going color-intensive and reaching six total mana is what pays for "any permanent" plus the free untap. The result is a hard-control answer that doubles as a tempo swing: it does not merely neutralize the most dangerous thing across the table, it conscripts it, and conscripts it ready to act.
