Character Background

Witness Protection reads like a bureaucratic erase-and-rebrand: for a single blue mana you gut a threat’s identity and turn it into a vanilla 1/1 green‑white Citizen named Legitimate Businessperson, which is perfect thematically for blue’s control of information and bodies. Practically, it’s a potent tempo/control tool — a cheap answer to large attackers and ability‑heavy creatures that buys turns and frees up more expensive removal or counters; it’s also a nice one‑mana piece in an enchantment toolbox. Build tips: include counterspells or bounce to protect the Aura from instant removal, or slot enchantment recursion (Replenish or Open the Vaults) or Sun Titan in a splash‑white shell to reuse it repeatedly. A slick secondary use is to cast it on your own creature to reduce it to a 1/1 and then sacrifice to an outlet like Altar of Dementia or Viscera Seer for triggered‑death combos and value. Expect it to be fragile to aura hate, but brutal as cheap, repeatable neutralization.
