Rationale
A 3cmc Battle that tutors any Aura, God, or Demigod to hand on entry, then transforms into Ephara — a 4/4 indestructible lifelink God that draws a card on each enchantment ETB. The front face is a flexible tutor that finds key enchantment payoffs or Gods; the back face is a recursive draw engine in enchantment-heavy decks. Together this card is a signature two-in-one for enchantment-matters and Aura-voltron shells in Azorius.
Learnings (3)
The front-face tutor finds Auras, Gods, AND Demigods — not just enchantment creatures — making it unusually broad for a search effect and relevant in God-tribal shells outside pure enchantment-matters.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
Ephara's draw trigger fires on ANY enchantment ETB you control (not just ones you cast), so flicker effects, token enchantments, and saga resets all generate card draw.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
Because Ephara's lifelink and indestructible are conditional on controlling 3+ OTHER enchantments, a well-timed enchantment removal blowout can strip her protections before combat — players often underestimate this vulnerability window.
