Kozilek, the Broken Reality
The Eldrazi titans have always spoken in cast-triggered language, a design built to make countering them a bad trade: the older titans drew you cards or shredded your permanents the instant the spell hit the stack, so a counter fed their effect without stopping it. This one carries the whole payload before it resolves too, but the shape of the payload is what sets it apart. The cast trigger targets up to two players (yourself, an opponent, or one of each), each chosen player manifests two cards from hand, and you draw one card for every card manifested that way. Point it at yourself and an opponent, and four cards get flipped face down across the two of you, four cards flow into your hand, and you keep two fresh face-down 2/2s of your own. The key is that manifest puts real cards from hand onto the battlefield, not tokens: your opponent's manifested cards are their own resources committed to bodies you have already priced into your card draw. Those face-down bodies are colorless, and the anthem gives your other colorless creatures +3/+2, so the same trigger that stocks the board produces creatures the anthem immediately enlarges. The spell pays once on the stack and again from the battlefield. That two-stage loop is the departure from the earlier titans, whose entire effect landed at cast and left nothing behind but a nine-power body. The colorless clause aims the anthem at Eldrazi and artifact creatures rather than a generic ramp shell.
