Eiganjo Uprising
The symmetry is deliberately lopsided, and the lopsidedness is the entire design. Pour a big X into it and you build a wide board of vigilant Samurai that, for this turn only, swing with menace and haste; each opponent builds the same tokens minus one, with the same vigilance but none of the aggressive keywords. The bodies match. The tempo does not. Your Samurai attack the turn they arrive, and the menace means the blockers your opponents just received cannot chump-block them cleanly, which turns the "each opponent" clause from a gift into a trap: you have handed the table defenders while ensuring your attackers are the only ones equipped to punch through defenders. That is Goad-adjacent political construction folded into a mono-directional aggro payoff. The X makes it a mana sink that never rots in hand, scaling from a modest two-token swing to a game-ending alpha strike as the game goes long, and the one-token differential compounds each cast in your favor. The vigilance on the permanent tokens is the quieter half: the board it leaves behind can keep pressing and still hold the fort, so the aggression does not cost you your defensive footing. It reads as fair (everyone gets Samurai) while keeping the burst, the evasion, and the per-opponent numerical edge on your side of the table.
