Card Type: Enchantment - Aura
Card Text:
Enchant creature
When Sleep with the Fishes enters the battlefield, tap enchanted creature and you create a 1/1 blue Fish creature token with "This creature can't be blocked."
Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Neutralizes a creature by preventing it from untapping.
  • Provides a 1/1 blue Fish creature token that can't be blocked.
• Weaknesses:
  • Can be removed, freeing the enchanted creature.
  • Relatively high casting cost for an aura.

Deck Utility:

• Control Decks: This card fits well in control strategies by neutralizing threats.

• Token Strategies: Could be included in decks that seek to generate a multitude of tokens.

• Aura-based decks: Pairs well with cards that benefit from having multiple auras.

Interactions and Combos:

• Heroic or Enchantment Trigger Abilities: Cards that have triggers when targeted by spells can benefit.

• Hexproof/Shroud: The created Fish token would be a good target for Hexproof or Shroud auras, as it's already unblockable.

• Untap Effects: In a deck with untap effects, you can free the enchanted creature if necessary.

Flavor and Lore:
The name and the token generated offer a humorous and dark twist on the mob expression "sleeping with the fishes," implying that the enchanted creature is essentially "dead" in terms of game utility.

Overall Impression:
"Sleep with the Fishes" offers both utility and flavor. It can disrupt your opponent's plans by neutralizing a major threat and simultaneously advancing your board state with an unblockable Fish token. Its relatively high casting cost and susceptibility to enchantment removal may limit its playability in highly competitive formats but make it a fun addition in casual or thematic decks.
