Enchant in practice
Enchant a creature, player or land, these are forms of powering up pieces in play or controlling them as is the case for Aura Curses that enchant players and apply a devastating effect on them.
There is a particular case when these types of enchantments return to the battlefield as the reanimate ability is what goes on the stack and not the enchant per se Enchant Creature could target a Hexproof or Shroud creature, but remember this only applies when bringing back the enchantments from graveyard to play.
