Oracle Text
Enchant creature an opponent controls

Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Honest Work is a one-mana blue Aura that perfectly complements tempo/control plans: it taps an opposing creature, strips all counters, removes every ability, changes its name and types, and resets its base stats to a tapped 1/1 Citizen that can only produce colorless mana. Practically that means you buy time against big threats, shut off activated abilities and counter-based engines, and wreck tribal synergies by stripping creature types and names — excellent against Elves, Goblins, or +1/+1-counter strategies. It’s not removal, so it’s best used to neuter blockers and combo pieces while you develop a win plan; follow up with sweepers or evasive threats to exploit the weakened board. Deckbuilding tip: slot Honest Work into blue tempo or midrange shells with cheap protection (Mana Leak/Counterspell) to make it stick, and include it in the sideboard vs. counter- or tribal-heavy matchups where neutralizing one key creature for a turn or two swings the game.
