A narrow card, but I like how it doesn't kill their enchantment if they don't pay, it kills the player!

Fun to put on Necropotence ;)

Yo dawg I heard you liked enchantments, so I enchanted your enchantment so you can enchant while you enchant.

Back in the day Blue had this strange theme of killing you with little pinpricks, punishing you with little packets of 1 or 2 damage, or tapping your resources, every turn. Psychic Venom, Prodigal Sorcerer, Erosion and Feedback, along with this card, annoyed players when used with Drain Power, Mana Short, Power Sink and of course Mana Drain. These abilities have since moved to black and red.

Blue's methodical kill was annoying to play against, and compromised your opponents' ability to play freely. However, I think Wizards soon realized that these tactics were too slow to keep up with the other colors. For this reason, blue's win conditions have switched to milling, and big flying creatures. After all, they do seem to work better than little conditional and narrow cards like this, which are cute, but are awful in terms of mana curve (especially in the color of counterspells).

Marcy was very happy with her silicone breast implants, until that unfortunate day when she collided with a porcupine.
