Avacynian Missionaries // Lunarch Inquisitors
The flip trigger here reads the Equipment archetype directly, and that gate is the whole design. The front-face 3/3 does nothing on its own except check, as your turn winds down, whether you have put a piece of Equipment on it. Rather than a mana cost or a damage threshold, the transformation demands a specific deckbuilding commitment: it rewards a deck already built to suit up its creatures, not one making a dedicated investment to unlock a payoff. Because the check resolves during your end step, gear equipped in that same turn's main phase flips it immediately; there is no upkeep wait, just the requirement that you commit a sword before the turn ends. Once flipped, Lunarch Inquisitors exiles another target creature until the Inquisitors leaves the battlefield, with the familiar catch of this exile-until-leaves template: killing or bouncing the back face returns whatever you tucked away. And it stays flipped, so the exile is a one-shot tethered to the Inquisitors' survival, not a switch reset each turn. The four mana buys a body that idles until it gets equipped, and the deckbuilding signal (assemble an Equipment shell, then this is a removal spell attached to a beater) does the work the mana cost declines to. A build-around wearing the costume of an unremarkable Cleric.
