Secret Plans
Face-down permanents have always carried a hidden tax: the 2/2 body is a clock you pay to plant, and the flip is a tempo bet you make only when the upside clears the mana. This enchantment attacks that cost from both ends. The +0/+1 keeps your face-down attackers and blockers alive through the 2-damage sweepers and combat math a flat 2/2 loses to, and the card draw turns every unmorph from a one-shot reveal into a replacement that refills your hand. The effect is that flipping stops being a luxury and becomes profit: you were going to pay the cost anyway, and now each flip cantrips. That reframes the whole face-down toolbox from a tempo gamble into an attrition engine, which is exactly the axis these decks otherwise struggle to win on. It is a payoff card, useless without a critical mass of face-down permanents to trigger it, and it wants every megamorph and manifest effect you can find to maximize the draws. The narrow build requirement is the price; the reward is that a strategy normally stuck in midrange tempo gets a way to grind. Worth noting the second clause says "permanent," not "creature," so anything that turns face up, including the rarer noncreature manifests, feeds the same engine.
