Sizzling Soloist

Creature — Human Citizen3 generic manaRed mana

Evasion here is priced in bodies, not mana. Each creature that follows this one onto the battlefield strips a blocker off one of your opponent's threats: a falter effect that clears a lane for your attackers rather than granting evasion of its own. The design's real cleverness lives in the second resolution. Once two creatures have entered in a turn, the targeted blocker not only can't block now but is dragged out to attack on its controller's next combat, pried out of a defensive crouch and into open ground. That is a piece of tempo engineering with a delayed sting: an ability that opens a hole this turn and dismantles the opposing wall for the following one, converting a defensive creature into a liability twice over. The constraint that keeps it honest is throughput. One creature entering yields only the ordinary can't-block trigger; the forced-attack clause demands two enters in a single turn, so it asks for a shell built to spit out tokens or replay cheap creatures rather than one that lands a single threat and sits. This is a swarm enabler for decks that already flood the board and need a way to turn presence into unanswered damage, with the forced-attack mode functioning as a pressure valve against an opponent who has stabilized behind a growing defense.

Alliance — Whenever another creature you control enters, target creature an opponent controls can't block this turn. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, that creature attacks during its controller's next combat phase if able.
