Cruel Enchantments is a strategy focused around putting auras with a variety of negative effects onto creatures your opponent controls. These can shut down their creatures entirely or force them into attacking anyone but you. It leaves you relatively safe while everyone around you is being chipped down.

Bestow creatures enhance this, often attaching themselves to gouded creatures before returning as bodies once their host is finally vanquished. It is important to note that effects that reduce the cost of Aura and enchantment spells do work on the bestow ability.

This strategy finds new life with Eriette of the Charmed Apple, who acts as an additional safety mechanism and a finisher once enough aura build up on the board.
