Enthralling Victor
The classic temporary-steal spell, miniaturized and stapled to a body, with a power-2-or-less ceiling on what it can borrow. That restriction is the whole calculus: the Victor can never poach the bomb, but a small target rarely matters, because the borrowed creature is almost always headed to a sacrifice outlet or a swing it will not survive. The clause that turns a downside into an upside is aristocrats. Steal the mana dork or the chump blocker, send it in, then feed it to Carrion Feeder or Viscera Seer before the control effect expires in the cleanup step. You keep your 3/2, the opponent loses their creature, and it never comes home. The steal lives on an enters-the-battlefield trigger, which is where the card quietly outgrows its rate: any blink effect that returns the Victor reloads it, flicker the body, grab a fresh target, repeat. The control change is a duration, not a delayed return, so the borrowed creature simply slips back during cleanup if it is still on the battlefield, which is the precise window an aristocrats deck closes by sacrificing it first. As removal-on-a-stick it is honest work; as a sacrifice enabler it converts the opponent's board into fuel without paying the usual tempo tax of a dedicated steal spell.
