Rationale
Yenna copies target non-duplicate enchantment you control as a non-legendary token, with a bonus untap + scry 2 if the enchantment is an Aura — enabling repeatable value in enchantment-heavy shells. She's a defining piece for enchantment-matters and aura-voltron strategies in GW, but entirely build-around and slow (sorcery-speed, 3-mana activation), making her best in dedicated Brawl/Commander shells that flood the board with enchantments.
Learnings (3)
When Yenna copies an Aura, she untaps herself before the end of activation, meaning in a single turn with enough mana you can potentially activate her multiple times if you have multiple differently-named Auras — the untap is not a 'once per turn' reset but a per-Aura-copy reward.

The 'doesn't have the same name as another permanent you control' restriction means Yenna cannot copy an enchantment if a token copy of it already exists on your side of the battlefield, preventing exponential stacking of the same enchantment.

Legendary enchantments are valid targets (she strips the legendary supertype from the copy), making Saga or legendary enchantment duplication possible — copies of Sagas enter on chapter I and run their full course.
