Enchant creature
Whenever enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card.
Mox strategy
Ophidian Eye is a strong card draw engine for blue combo and tempo decks. Flash lets you hold up interaction and only commit when safe, then turn any evasive or repeat-damage creature into a steady stream of cards.
Best uses are on creatures that can hit immediately or repeatedly: unblockable threats, flying creatures, or creatures with tap-to-deal-damage effects. It is especially powerful with combo pieces that can deal damage multiple times in a turn, since each hit can replace itself with another card.
Key synergies include Niv-Mizzet-style pinger combos, untap loops, and creatures with trample, flying, or shadow/unblockable-style evasion. The aura also pairs well with protection and bounce effects to avoid getting two-for-oned.
Main weakness: it is vulnerable to removal and can be card-inefficient if the enchanted creature dies before connecting. Best in decks that can protect the target or immediately exploit the draw engine.
