Subterfuge
The enters trigger is a targeted card-draw enabler dressed as an evasion buff: it hands one of your attackers flying to help it connect, then converts the combat damage that flyer deals into cards, scaling with the damage dealt rather than paying a flat one. The design tension is that the whole package expires at end of turn, so the payoff cannot be banked. You point it at an already-fattened threat, unlock the swing, and cash the damage into a fistful of cards on the same turn's attack step. Because the buff and the flying both evaporate, there is no lingering advantage; the reward is entirely front-loaded, and the 3/5 body is what justifies casting it once as a fair creature rather than a fragile spell stapled to a wall. Encore is where the second life lives. Paying the steep graveyard cost mints an attacking token copy per opponent, and since the enters trigger fires for each token, every copy chooses its own attacker, grants evasion, and installs the draw rider before the alpha strike. In a multiplayer game that is several unlocked threats and several independent draw triggers folded into one sorcery-speed turn, a wholly different card from the one first cast. The Incarnation frame reads the intent honestly: a body worth deploying now, and a graveyard payoff worth building toward for the turn you decide to break the table open.
