Security Bypass

Enchantment — Aura1 generic manaBlue mana

The evasion clause is doing double duty, and the second job is the interesting one. Unblockable is old, but tying it to attacking alone imposes a real cost: to make the enchanted creature connect, you have to commit to a lone attacker rather than a board-wide assault. That restriction is what pays for stapling connive onto the damage trigger. Every connection filters your hand and, if you pitch a nonland, grows the creature, so the Aura becomes a self-fueling loop that rewards a hand full of expendable cards you would rather dig past. The counter accretion is the payoff that keeps the two-card investment from staying fragile: land a couple of hits and the body has outrun most removal math, while your hand quality climbs each turn. But that reward is strictly back-loaded, and the design owns the danger rather than mitigating it. The turn it resolves, the Aura advances nothing on its own, so the classic two-for-one risk (a removal spell on the enchanted creature costs you both cards for zero value) is at its worst before the engine ever fires. You are buying a delayed, compounding return and accepting the window in which a single instant undoes the whole plan. Connive is what keeps this from being a vanilla "can't be blocked" enabler: it converts an evasion trick into a card-selection engine that happens to end games, and the "attacking alone" line reads as a drawback precisely because it functions as the enabler.

Enchant creature As long as enchanted creature is attacking alone, it can't be blocked. Enchanted creature has "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, it connives." (Its controller draws a card, then discards a card. If they discarded a nonland card, they put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
