Muzzio's Preparations
A build-around that exists entirely outside the game proper: no library slot, no mana, no cast, just a card sitting face down in the command zone before the first draw, waiting on a name you locked in before anyone knew what you were building around. That pregame commitment is the wager the hidden-agenda subset was built to enable, and this one stakes it on redundancy. The reward scales exactly as far as your name-sharing does: pick a creature you run in multiples and the counters accrue across the team; pick a singleton and you have paid a pregame decision for one extra point of stat. The secrecy is the real lever. Because the agenda sits face down, an opponent cannot see which name you chose until you flip it, so the read and the bluff carry as much weight as the buff. There is a timing wrinkle worth noting: the counter applies to creatures that enter after the conspiracy is face up, so when you reveal shapes your sequencing rather than retroactively pumping the board. It is a small effect that asks you to commit before the game tells you anything, a pregame gamble rather than a card you reach for on raw rate.
