It's Academy Researchers! Not to be confused with Iridescent Drake. Or Auratouched Mage or Boonweaver Giant.
Actually, you'll notice my version is specifically designed to get around both the two-for-one issue of the researcher/drake and the ridiculously complicated wording of the mage by having both the creature and aura ETB together.
"Two-for-one issue" of the researchers / drake? It seems this is just as susceptible to two-for-ones with Murder as any Aura-based card. What your wording protects against is a Shock before the Mythic Proportions arrive, which makes some degree of sense, although in the Researchers' case the opponent doesn't necessarily know what's in your hand.
But that's like the opposite of preventing two-for-ones: if the Academy Researchers die before their trigger resolves, you still keep the Aura in hand waiting for the next opportunity to use it. Likewise the Drake is never at risk of a two-for-one because its ability is pure card advantage anyway.
BTW, where are you meant to reveal the Aura card from? I assumed your hand, but it doesn't actually say.
Actually I was thinking mostly of minusing and damage, which in several formats are more widespread than terror effects. And these formats, conveniently, happen to also have Totem Armor cards available... (ye I'm aware of Swords to Ploughshare, but that card is a problem for pretty much any creature)
