Legendary Creature — Human Bard1 generic manaGreen manaWhite mana

Role tokens were built to sit lightly: a single-attachment Aura granting a modest evergreen bonus, with a self-limiting rule that quietly forbids piling three of them on one creature. This card takes that governor and rewires it into an engine. Every nontoken creature you control that enters, itself included, hands you a modal choice of Royal, Sorcerer, or Monster, so the anti-stacking clause that keeps individual Roles honest becomes a reason to flood the board with bodies instead of stacking rewards on one. That per-entry modal choice does the heavy lifting: Royal grants ward and a buff, Sorcerer adds a bonus and scries when the creature attacks, Monster is a straight buff with trample, three different reasons to want a creature to resolve, picked one at a time as the board demands, so a go-wide deck reads the situation on every entry rather than committing to a single payoff up front. The 2/3 body is a support piece, not a threat, which is the correct posture for a card whose job is to make everything around it slightly better and occasionally much better once the triggers compound. It is the payoff Roles always implied but a keyword designed to be incidental never quite had: a single permanent that treats "a creature entered" as "make an Aura," converting a throttled mechanic into the whole plan.
