Dreadbringer Lampads
An evasion engine dressed as a beater, built for a deck that already wanted to count its enchantments. Each time an enchantment enters under your control, the constellation trigger hands intimidate to a creature you choose, so on a board flush with auras and enchantment creatures the 4/2 body almost stops mattering: this becomes a repeatable evasion-maker that turns any swing into a damage delivery system. Because evasion has to be granted before blockers are declared to matter at all, and most enchantments hit the battlefield at sorcery speed before combat, this reads as a proactive buff you set up on your own turn rather than a reactive answer in the combat step. Intimidate is the older, color-keyed cousin of menace-style evasion, restricting blockers to artifact creatures and ones that share a color with the creature it's granted to. That clause is the wrinkle worth aiming: point the trigger at a white attacker and only white or artifact creatures can stop it; point it at a colorless threat and only artifacts can. Against a defending board that shares none of those, the effect functions as unblockable, but the color and artifact exceptions are always live. The fragile body keeps this from finishing games on its own; it dies to almost any removal and trades down in combat, so the value lives in the engine, not the stats. It belongs to the wave of black enchantment-matters payoffs that treated permanents-as-spells as a recurring trigger source rather than a one-time bonus, rewarding density: three or four enchantments a turn, each entry retriggering, is a way to push lethal through a clogged ground.
