Invasion of Theros // Ephara, Ever-Sheltering

Battle — Siege // Legendary Enchantment Creature — God · {2}{W} · Blue/White commander

(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.) When this Siege enters, search your library for an Aura, God, or Demigod card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Ephara has lifelink and indestructible as long as you control at least three other enchantments. Whenever another enchantment you control enters, draw a card.
