Promise of Tomorrow

The design gamble here is that you can lose your whole board and come out ahead. This turns every creature death into a deferred asset: your dying creatures pile into exile beneath the enchantment, and the moment you control no creatures at an end step, the whole stash floods back onto the battlefield at once. The wrinkle is who pulls the trigger. You control when your board empties, and a mass sacrifice, a well-timed sweeper, or simply feeding everything to an outlet becomes a setup rather than a setback. It reframes the classic aristocrats question (how do I profit from my creatures dying?) into a stranger one: how do I ensure they all die together, so the payout lands in a single wave? That "return all under your control" clause is the sharp edge. Wraths that clear both sides suddenly refill only your half of the board, and creatures stolen or borrowed onto your side get swept into exile and returned under your control. The tension the card resolves is timing: the empty-board check happens each end step, so you dictate the reload window, deciding when to cash in the accumulated bodies. It is a fragile engine (a single lingering token or leftover creature stalls the whole thing), and that fragility is exactly the puzzle it hands you.
