Howl of the Hunt

Flash on a pump aura is the whole design conversation here. Combat auras normally die to the two-for-one problem: you spend a card and mana to buff a creature, and any removal spell in response strands your enchantment in the graveyard for nothing. Handing the aura flash reframes it as a combat trick that happens to stick around, an ambush blocker maker that can turn a bad attack into a dead one at instant speed while leaving a permanent +2/+2 and vigilance behind if it survives. The tribal rider sharpens the ambush further: when it lands on a Wolf or Werewolf, the untap clause lets a tapped attacker snap back to defend, or a summoning-sick body block the turn it arrives. Vigilance on the same package points at a specific pattern, the werewolf plan of attacking and holding ground at once, applying pressure after a flip without ceding the crackback. The rate is unremarkable; the timing is the point. Everything about the card is arranged to shrink the window in which spending a card on an aura is a liability, and to widen the window in which it functions as a trick, a save, and a permanent upgrade all at once.
